Restaurant Partner Opportunities

It is our pleasure to invite your restaurant to participate in Connections for the Homeless’ second annual Block Party, After Dark on Saturday, July 29th.
​
We would like your restaurant to participate in the food truck/restaurant alley along Ashland Avenue where our guests (approximately 400) will purchase food from you directly. We aim to have a variety of food vendors present and this will be a great advertising opportunity for you as well.

We are at capacity and are no longer accepting restaurant partners. 

Sponsorship
​Opportunities

Interested in sponsorship? With a wide variety of benefits available, we have several opportunities to invest in the community at a level most meaningful to you and/or your company. Contact us to set up a time to chat to learn more. ​

Community Partner Opportunities

We're looking for community partners to be present during Family Fest!

Community partners have the option to set up a table or tent to distribute materials to the community, provide resources to your programs, and create an activity that all ages can enjoy. This is a great opportunity to engage with the Evanston community and share your resources. Some examples of past partnerships include: arts and crafts, prize giveaways, and science experiments.

​Fill out this form to register as a community partner by June 30th and we'll be in touch about next steps. Spaces are available on a first come first serve basis.
