A new pillow and blanket

Thank you to Jeanine Zanoni and her son, Joe, volunteers from Glenbard South High School and St. James the Apostle Church and school, and Kohl's and Target in Downers Grove for donating new blankets and pillows to our Interim (overnight) Housing site at First Presbyterian Church in Glen Ellyn.

"What a gift for all of us to see the faces of the guests when they knew they would be able to sleep on fresh pillows and blankets."

– Jeanine Zanoni, Volunteer

Volunteers Made the Holidays Bright!

Thank you to all the volunteers who “adopted” children from our Howlett families and all those who donated Holiday Meals in a Bag for our tenants in our supportive housing.  Your generosity was overwhelming and brightened the holidays for these families.

Staff members could barely find their desks underneath all those presents!

Donation Drives Make a Difference!
