Christmas Joy Spread by Volunteers

Santa and Mrs. Claus with Fellowship Housing families.

Our community came together to help Fellowship Housing moms this Christmas! We believe when we all do our part, more families will thrive and it's clear you believe this too.

  • Hoffman Estates Community Bank and Barrington Bank and Trust provided Christmas stockings for every Fellowship Housing child.

  • Immanuel Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake held a toy drive for Fellowship Housing families to ensure children receive birthday gifts throughout the year.

  • Our Christmas Party was back in person and the evening was a blast! Food for Friends provided a delicious dinner. A&A Paving provided cookie kits for families to decorate. Marie Padula with KellerWilliams NorthShore West brought a photo frame craft for each child. Clearwater Capital Partners provided a gift for each child to receive from Santa. Santa and Mrs. Claus made a special appearance and Alyssa Murdock provided photography for the event.

  • Mervyn de Souza, Edlong Dairy, and Loving Covers made baking kits with aprons for each family to make memories together.

  • Not to mention the numerous individuals and groups that "adopted a family" to provide Christmas gifts for each mom and child. One mom shared, "I could cry. Thank you! This is so many gifts. The kids will love it!"

We’re incredibly grateful for such a caring community. Your gifts and time do not go unnoticed!
