Figueroa Wu Family Foundation
The Figueroa Wu Family Foundation works for community wellness, targeting hunger, fighting racial and economic inequities, and providing an inviting space for learning and cultural engagement. We address social and health injustices through lenses of empowerment, collaboration, and sustainability.
The Mission of the Figueroa Wu Family Foundation is to, through the lens of health justice, bring anti-poverty services into areas of unmet need. Our vision is to connect community to improved health outcomes.
The foundation was established in 2017 by Evelyn Figueroa and Alex Wu to personally deliver over $100,000 in supplies to Puerto Rico post-hurricane Maria.
Evelyn founded the Pilsen Food Pantry in 2018 and Clothes Closet in 2020. Both are services that are open to all and have provided emergency supplies to over 28,000 households since their inception.
The Figueroa Wu Family Foundation commits to the equitable treatment of its staff, clients, and partners. The Figueroa Wu Family Foundation does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. The Figueroa Wu Family Foundation is an equal opportunity employer.
