Description

We invite you to consider donating an auction item for our annual Gala on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, at 5:30 pm, at the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg. This annual Gala brings together over 350 of our supporters for a night to benefit the moms of Fellowship Housing.

 

As a 501(c) 3 non-profit serving over 1000 moms and their children since 1991, Fellowship Housing exists to empower struggling single moms in our community to build a new legacy. We offer two years of safe and affordable transitional housing to moms and their children, including financial training, accountability, and a focused path from financial crisis to long-term stability.

 

Over the past 5 years our vision has been to find every motivated single mom in our area and empower them to build a new legacy for their family. This has led to a 55% increase in the number of moms we serve across Cook, DuPage, Kane, and McHenry counties.

 

Through our two year pathway to independence our moms on average increase their income by $8,800, raise their credit score by 81 points, decrease debt by $20,250, increase savings by $9,540 and 88% of graduates advance to independent housing of their choice!  

 

How can you help?

 

Silent & Live Auctions- We would sincerely appreciate it if you would donate a product or gift card from your business to be featured in our auction.

Any donations confirmed prior to February 1, 2024, will ensure your business recognition on our event website.

 

Thank you for empowering single moms to break the cycle of poverty and build a new legacy.
