Five Reasons to Partner with Us
Enrich
Your support for the vulnerable children and families in our care goes a long way towards helping our kids feel connected, and their families feeling supported. Working alongside Hephzibah directly impacts and enriches the local community!
Discover
Learn something new about the world of child and family welfare, and some of the pressing social issues of our time. Gathering around shared purpose can reveal aspects of teamwork and dynamics you may not have anticipated!
Shared Commitment
A shared commitment to Hephzibah’s mission helps boost morale and foster a culture of teamwork and social responsibility among your team. Sharing is caring!
Partnership
Hephzibah has been serving in the Oak Park community for over 125 years, and over that time has achieved a much broader reach encompassing all of Illinois and beyond. As a mainstay of local Oak Park culture, a partnership with Hephzibah is a public proclamation of care.
Personal Satisfaction
Helping children and families in need is rewarding in and of itself. Each member of your group will walk away glowing, satisfied that their work made a difference in a child’s life.
Three Ways to Help
01.
Organize a Group Project
Choose from a wide variety of activities in service of the children and families we work with, or suggest your own activities or projects. In recent years, our partners have volunteered at events, sponsored our annual foster family holiday party, helped spruce up Hephzibah Home, transformed our backyard into a healing garden oasis for the children in our group homes, donated computer equipment for our technology program, stuffed stockings for the Holidays, crafted personalized birthday kits, and much more. We welcome your thoughts and ideas!
02.
Sponsor an Event
Each year, our partners provide critically needed support and volunteer services as sponsors for our Heart of Gold Ball, Care & Spare at Timber Lanes, Rock N’ Roll for your Heart & Soul, Foster and Intact Family Holiday Party, Halloween Party, Thanksgiving dinner for the children at Hephzibah Home and other events. Some partners sponsor existing events, while others come up with their own.
03.
Launch a Workplace Giving Campaign
Encourage your employees to support our mission through payroll deductions. Support their charitable endeavors by doubling or tripling their gifts with a company match.
