You are not only raising funds but you are helping people make positive change in their lives!

The "Get on the Bus with Us-Raising $hange!" program is designed to give students from Kindergarten through 12th Grade in our communities with a visual, tangible and impactful way to participate in our mission to end homelessness in DuPage County.

Crucial funding for public transportation, medical assistance, and basic needs has been eliminated.

The lack of these resources will have tremendous impact on the lives of the men, women and children we serve unless we can find an alternate way to meet these needs.
