Comments

We are so proud to work with some amazing organizations to distribute our Back 2 School kits; YMCA of Metro Chicago, Operation Homefront, JCC Chicago, Vietnamese Association of Illinois, The Harbour, Camp of Dreams…..
Today we are at the Broadway Armory Park for our annual “BIG” Distribution & Activity Day event! 400 children from YMCA of Metro Chicago, Camp of Dreams, Centro Romero and Heartland Alliance will rotate through a series of 5 activities. We will also be distributing 11,000 of our signature kits, which includes volunteers assembling 1,000 of them through our Build-A-Kit program, something we have never done at this event!
Caring adults. Engaged youth. Children feel safe as they explore new possibilities and fulfill their potential.
