Supporting young men in recovery on the North Shore.
One of the most incredible things about the Foundation is that we make this level of care available to folks who would not normally be able to access it.
The Providence Foundation exists to make recovery accessible to young men and families on Chicago’s North Shore. Gifts support scholarships, programming and the community work that surrounds our residents.

Foundation President
I believe in the healing power of strong community and unconditional support.
With a commitment to spiritual and emotional well-being, I am passionate about the Providence Farm Family and its recent growth. Actively involved in Providence Farm for the past three years, I look forward to watching the community grow, evolve, and succeed for many more years to come.
Professionally, I am a partner at an IT Consulting Company. I spend as much time in nature as possible, golfing, skiing, meditating, and walking my two dogs. Most of all, I enjoy relaxing with my wife and three sons.
I am committed to empowering the men of Providence Farm to thrive in a safe, sober community. It is an honor to serve on the board and I look forward to making an impact with your support.
Foundation Treasurer
As a math teacher, I am excited to use my number skills as treasurer of the Providence Foundation.
“Be happy, be healthy, be fulfilled, live with ease” has been my mantra. Being out in nature, music and eating good food are the things that fill my soul. I am a yogi, a mother to four kids and a person who tries to face challenges with an open heart and mind.
I am so incredibly honored and excited to be part of the Providence Farm community. I can be contacted at Leslie@pfcommunity.org.
Foundation Secretary
Recovery is about progress not perfection remains my mantra.
I have lived in Wilmette for over 25 years with my husband, Ray, and our three grown sons. For 30 years, I have worked as an Executive Assistant to a North Shore family with many different responsibilities.
In my free time, I enjoy sharing my love of healthy cooking, crafting, cycling and long walks. I actively participate in Families Anonymous and lend support to individuals or families with loved ones struggling with addiction and mental health in their lives.
I feel our community is very fortunate to have Providence Farm as a steppingstone to young men on their road to recovery.
