With fall days growing crispier in Illinois and the streets lined with colored leaves, we cannot deny that we are getting closer to the holidays. At One Family Illinois, the winter season often inspires our supporters to show generosity to the children in our care through intentional donations to spread holiday cheer in our Villages and beyond.
We are making it fun and easy for you to gift to our Holiday Giving Program this year by theming the twelve weeks until 2019 around different giving suggestions to enhance this time of the year for youth in foster care. These themes act as suggestions for giving and are meant to invite you into discovering more about the diverse learning opportunities and healthy engagement we work to inspire in our children and teens.
