What We Do
Real Men Charities, Inc. is proud to call The Quarry Event Center in Chicago, Illinois our home. Located in the heart of the communities we serve, The Quarry serves as both a headquarters for the programs offered through our Nonprofit organization and a cultural hub for the city of Chicago.
Real Men Charities, Inc. was founded in 1990, by Yvette Mayo, to advocate for families (with emphasis on fathers) and to promote community development.
Our initial focus was on food security, proper nutrition, and healthcare, but during our first few years of service it became apparent that men also urgently needed to address mental and emotional health issues. With this in mind, RMC has expanded its mission to include suicide prevention, improved literacy, mentoring, and holistic wellness opportunities for men using food, art, culture, and community.
Our Mission
The mission of Real Men Charities, Inc. is to positively improve the way the world celebrates family and community by fostering opportunities through education, forums, and programs, with an emphasis on wellness, fathers, and father figures.
