Nonprofits combine efforts for #Giving Tuesday

A number of Naperville area nonprofits have rallied together to promote local donations on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 28. One is Our Children's Homestead.

"For the past 22 years, Our Children's Homestead has played an integral role in supporting Illinois' most traumatized foster care youth; serving over 1,000 foster youth, and matching over 200 youth with disabilities with a forever family.

"Your support allows us to offer the normalcy our youth deserve, through services above and beyond our contractual obligations," said Jacqueline Stogsdill, Our Children's Homestead director of community relations and resource development.

Residents can contribute directly to the Our Children's Homestead and these other nonprofits, including: Literacy DuPage; Naperville YMCA; Community Career Center; Pull-up Bars for Patriots; Easter Seals of DuPage and Fox Valley; A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter; Side By Side Smiles at napervillegivesmore.com. Donations can also be made using the $hare mobile app: go to www.getshare.mobi to download this free iPhone and Android app.
