Volunteerism at HOW came in many forms this last year. We hosted two volunteer work parties with companies Deloitte and Baxter International dedicated to property improvement. Each group brought over 25 volunteers who were ready and willing to paint, weed and clear brush. Their support enabled us to maintain clean and safe homes for clients in our properties. Last winter, Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg Women’s Network prepared 100 home starter kits. Holly Johnson, Director of Client Services and Marketing <strong>org</strong>anized these “fresh start” bins by purchasing needed items that the women we serve often do not have when settling into their new households. A crock pot, cookbook, towels, light bulbs and cleaning supplies are just a few examples of her thoughtful planning. HOW would like to thank Holly Johnson, the Women’s Network and board members Vicki Donati and Leah Schleicher for making this project possible. “We provide the housing and services for our clients, but partnerships like this make a home” said Mary Ann Stott, Director of Supportive Services. The Chicago Spirit Brigade, a long time HOW partner, is a full cheerleading, dance and drill squad. Their mission is to collect donations for area nonprofits and last year, HOW was the lucky recipient of proceeds from their Andersonville Midsommarfest performance. We were also featured at their inaugural Spread the Cheer event, a fundraiser garnering donations to match dollar for dollar the funds collected at their shows. HOW would like to thank Mary LaPierre and Mickey Huang for their ongoing support of our work in Chicago. In total, HOW received over 3,000 hours of volunteer time last year. Interns, work-study students, community volunteers and company partnerships dedicated time and talent to help us reach and serve a record number of clients. Volunteers and Partnerships
