GIFT OF OPPORTUNITY:

Provide homeless women & children with basic needs as they move into the shelter or move out into their own housing. This gives them the Opportunity to focus their time on achieving self-sufficiency, knowing that their basic needs are met. Donations from the Shelter Needs Wish List can be dropped off at our office address at 4209 W. Shamrock Lane, Unit B, McHenry, IL 60050, by 12/30/22.
