Bethel Community Facility (BCF)  is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization located on the East Side of Chicago Heights, Illinois (the most disadvantaged area in the city).   Our facility was developed in response to a dire need for community-based programs and services that could help rebuild our deteriorating, drug infested neighborhoods. 

It was envisioned over a quarter of a century ago as an alternative to these elements for young children and their families.  Social ills, such as  substance and chemical abuse, gang violence, high rate of adolescent mothers, high unemployment, low skills, homelessness, elevated high school dropout rates, illiteracy, crime and violence bring constant challenges to our area.  Needless to say, the majority of residents whom we serve are low-income, unskilled and un-or-under employed.  In response to that plight,  BCF offers programs and services that are necessary to enhance the quality of life and employability of those we serve through partnerships with local businesses, industry and other key agencies, such as United Way.  

Bethel Community Facility has a sound reputation that brings needy persons to its doors for counseling, for temporary economic support, for food feedings, for educational advancement, for child care, for medical services, and for youth and adult programs, and for recreation.    Likewise, to assure that those people in need of the utmost betterment of their livelihood are served, BCF was purposely positioned to be in the center of an area that is mired in the grips of unemployment, crime, violence, drug trafficking, gangs, chemical and substance—the east side of Chicago Heights, IL and Ford Heights, IL.   Therefore, our facility is accomplished in that it has years of aptitude, ingenuity and allegiance to aiding and abetting the low-income individuals and their families improve the quality of their lives.
