Our 2019 Fair was a great success marking 10 years of this mission!

Our 2019 took place on August 10th from noon - 3:00 pm.  We were again blessed with a beautiful rainless day - Answered Prayers!    We hosted over 530 people to a day of fun, food, school supplies and more!    Our outreach included representation across the Chicagoland area from Chicago to Romeoville and Willowbrook to Joliet.  We gave away almost 50 preschool bags, over 280 elementary backpacks and 150 middle/high school backpacks.  We provided  free haircuts and everyone enjoyed games, a raffle and food!  A big thank you to over  100 volunteers who helped make the fair a great success!



With no Fair in 2020,  we donated available supplies to multiple families who contacted us and also provided calculators to several schools for those unable to afford them.  


Our Back-to-School support in 2021 and 2022 provided school supplies to a specific elementary school near us for those in need and we are also helping the teachers with their need for supplies.  Calculators are also being supplied to area junior highs.  We thank everyone for their support!


Our 2023 support focused on providing teachers in the Downers Grove school district with school supplies to avoid needing to fund it themselves.


For 2024 - we are exploring a new approach to this Ministry
