Full-day fundraiser gets underway
The #ILGive fundraiser, which is held by the Chicago-based organization Forefront, will be taking place for a full 24 hours, starting this evening.
For those who live in McHenry who would like to participate in the fundraiser, there will be one organization located in here that will be taking part in the fundraiser, known as Home of the Sparrow. Home of the Sparrow is a non-profit organization that gives homeless women and children from McHenry County and Northern Illinois support and transitional shelter.
Donations that can be given to Home of the Sparrow range from $25 to $500 or more if patrons choose to donate their own amount rather than selecting a predetermined one. Different amounts will provide different opportunities for the women and the children who are taken care of by the organization; for example, a $25 donation will give a new pair of shoes to a child, while a $500 donation will provide a family with a full month of rent.
