A Time to Give in the Wards

A Time to Give in the Wards - 5:15
Christmas in the Wards founded over 22 ago by businessman Larry Huggins and later joined by businessman Everett Rand, began as Christmas in Englewood Foundation, serving one of the most disadvantaged communities on the South Side of Chicago. Through amazing partnerships our organization has grown into a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives and bringing the true spirit of the holidays. Our mission is to serve, reaching over 20 Chicago wards and more underrepresented communities. We help over 1000 families each Christmas and holiday season by working with our civic leaders, schools, business partners and community organizations to bring the Spirit of the Season to need-based communities. Hard working families who struggle to provide for their families receive essentials like food and clothing; deserving students who achieve academic and community excellence receive laptops and other educational gifts; bright-eyed youth who love Santa Claus receive special gifts they select from one of the largest toy giveaways in the city of Chicago.

Love, Helping Veterans

Love, Helping Veterans - 5:17
Josh Plummer, a veteran who has benefited from the Veterans Drop-In Center will speak on behalf of the non-profit, run by Pat Ambrose. The mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and positive social environment where all veterans and their families can give and receive help transitioning into post-service life. Providing meals as well as services such as haircuts, computer training, showers, and laundry are among the tangible services. Providing a supportive environment and making a difference in the lives of veterans is the result of the love applied by those who provide the services. The primary annual fundraising event is a November 5k run/walk. The organization needs a new site because there is not enough space in the current location to serve the number of veterans who show up each day, who are either homeless, or recovering from various addictions, PTSD, and struggle with job searches.
