Jan 2021 Newsletter

Hello Friends and Supporters,

We would like to thank everyone who attended our first event of 2021- Virtual Elsa Visit. It was a hit! We had 17 families join a magical story time & chat with Elsa. This event started our year off strong by raising $450.

The money raised will go towards our annual fundraising goal of $12,000. Fundraising donations help support local families directly with items such as:

  • Diapers, Wipes, & Formula

  • Emergency Assistance i.e. utility bill shut offs or gas gift cards

Fundraising is only one of two major goals for 2021. Our other main goal is to increase the number of families that we serve by 15%! In 2020 we served 1250 local families, which included 2700 children. In 2021, our goal is to serve 1438 families. We believe we can achieve this but not without the continued support of our amazing community partners and YOU.

We have 2 easy ways to get involved this month.

Join FIT4MOM DuPage County for a FREE night of yoga. Donations are being accepted for us here at The Outreach House.

Shop from the comfort of your own home with Amazon. Just click and buy items we need for our clients. They'll be sent directly to a volunteer's house from FIT4MOM DuPage County.
