H.O.M.E. has joined #ILGive! Will you give on Giving Tuesday?

Many of us at H.O.M.E. have been cheering on the Cubs in the World Series. And since we have caught Cubs fever, H.O.M.E. has a Cubs-inspired challenge for you for Giving Tuesday.

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. It's a day to celebrate giving back and kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

Giving Tuesday is November 29th this year.

H.O.M.E. has joined #ILGive, a campaign to engage Illinoisans in participating in Giving Tuesday by giving to organizations in the communities where we live. 

As part of #ILGive, H.O.M.E.'s goal is to raise $20,000 to help some of Chicago's most vulnerable residents - low-income seniors - meet their housing needs. 

You can help by giving here on November 29th.

For inspiration, our Executive Director, Bruce Otto, has a challenge for you:

Will you join us in our mission on November 29th to help low-income seniors maintain their independence?

Not only will your gift provide seniors with essential housing and housing support services but if we raise $20,000 on Giving Tuesday, Bruce will wear a zany Opposuit (like the Cubs wore this summer) and a hipster-styled wig for a full day in the office.

Mark your calenders for November 29, 2016 to give to help seniors in Chicago.
