EASTER JOY!   

A group of volunteers will be heading out to be the hands and feet of Christ's love in the community on the afternoon of EASTER!  We will be delivering Easter Baskets to men and women with disabilities this Easter Sunday.  We will also be having an easter egg hunt, having conversations and spending time sharing a craft activity.                    

There is still time for you and your family to Join Us!  Give Christine Caridi a call at: 630.698.0099.

Recent Feedback from some of out "Adopted" families:  

"thank you so very much for a wonderful time and the wonderful gifts.  The children are very excited to open their gifts on Christmas and just hang out for the day.  We feel blessed from the wonderful people that we have met.."

"To Your Family From Ours:  You have no idea what your kindness did to my family this xmas. There is not enough words to explain it or to thank you. My kid's loved everything and the smiles on their face was a gift enough for me. Thank you soooo much."
