“The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.”-DeAnn Hollis  Recently, HomeAid Chicago held its second annual “HomeAid Cares” Day at  the MorningStar Mission facility in Joliet.  Many members and their employees (as well as many HBAGC staff members) gathered to clean, assemble furniture and do a variety of other important tasks on the shelter which will house up to 72 women and children. Thank you to all who participated.  Please click here for pictures from the HomeAid Cares days as well as to learn more about this week’s volunteer opportunities at the Ray Graham home in Villa Park.
