As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday and the Black Friday sales don’t forget to remember the kids we are helping this holiday season. The IBEW 21 Days of Giving “Toy and Coat Drive” ends on Tuesday, December 2^nd.   A list of items you can shop for this weekend can be found here.

About My Joyful Heart

During the 21 Days of Giving, we have been highlighting the charities your donations will be helping.

My Joyful Heart  located in Mokena, Illinois is a unique charity that provides personalized assistance and encouragement for children in need. They endeavor to be a positive influence and provide them with basic life essentials, school supplies, clothing, toys and encouragement throughout each year. They currently have 680 children enrolled in their assistance program.

The children from My Joyful Heart are grateful for your toy donations this holiday season but with the bitter cold that has already hit our area they are also in need of coats, hats and gloves in sizes up to up adult medium. Learn more about My Joyful Heart by clicking here. 

If you know of a member in need who may benefit from our drive let us know. For more information or to volunteer for one of the Mercy Home holiday events please email Bob Przybylinski, Jacquie Fields or Dave Webster.
