Please join us on Wednesday, November 5th, at Abbington Banquets for networking, a warm breakfast, inspirational messages, and DuPagePads updates from CEO April Redzic during the 23rd Annual Wake Up Your Spirit Breakfast.
Guests will hear from a keynote speaker as well as a client whose life has been transformed by services made possible through donors’ generous support.
Your generous support strengthens client successes, connecting more families and individuals to the proven solution of housing, coupled with support services and employment programming to end homelessness.
