The act of "giving" gets alot of attention during the holidays ... which is only appropriate. Much time is also focused on choosing the recipients of the many gifts being bestowed on a personal level and to charities. This is true whether in Naperville or Joliet, IL ... or across the country on the coasts.
This is definitely an area where my wife is the CEO and professional in our home. I always kid Marilyn that I have to keep my eye on her or she'd give the house away.
While on the internet the other day, Marilyn found some information pertaining to a cause that assists many Chicagoland (and nationwide) charities and crisis shelters. Maybe it's because we've become grandparents recently, but this particular cause appealed greatly to both of us ... so we're passing the information on to you as we thought it might appeal to you too.
Called "Project Night Night", this charitable organization donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each and every year.
Homeless children are provided childhood essentials ... a stuffed animal, a children's book that is age-appropriate, and a new security blanket ... tucked away in a brand-new tote bag. These gifts are meant to provide the children known reliable comforts, thus reducing trauma and and advancing the emotional and cognative well-be
ing of those children assisted.
Over 10,000 volunteers across our nation assist in this beneficial cause. You can help "Project Night Night" in a variety of ways. You can volunteer your time and services to this important charity. You can sponsor Night Night Packages or contribute towards the building of a Night Night Package through a donation of funds. Items utilized within the packages can also be donated to this charity.

Thank you for reading this post ... and please considering helping a child in need, especially during this year's challenging holiday season.
Have a Happy Holiday and a Wonderful New Year!
