As we celebrate the excitement of another new year, we are immensely grateful for our generous corporate partners and donors for helping to make the 2020 holiday season marvelously merry. This past holiday looked incredibly different for our families, as our traditional celebrations at our Villages had to shift from in-person parties and bags of toys being dropped off from our friends, instead to our amazing supporters creating teams and raising funds to make charitable donations directly to our Holiday Giving Program. This outpouring of support made this winter special for our Village families and those we serve in the community. We cannot thank you enough!

About the Holiday Giving Program
The Holiday Giving Program supports the children in our care by sharing gifts of joy and comfort during the holiday season. Through your gifts and sponsorships, every child in our care will receive something special to help them to feel loved and supported, which is especially important during what is often a very difficult time of the year.
Information about the 2021 Holiday Giving Program will be shared in the fall. For questions, please contact Amy Kaczmarek our Director of Development at akaczmarek@sosillinois.org or call 312-372-8200.
