The essence of all the world's religions is simple -- do onto others as you would have them do onto you. We serve those who have fallen through the American society's "safety net." This is an invitation to join us in making a difference. Act locally and change the World by helping one neighbor at a time.
Respond Now files IRS Form 990. It is a 501(c)(03) public charity. Your gifts of food, money, clothes or furniture are fully tax-deductible.
Chicago's south suburbs are fiscally the poor stepchild of the city's suburbs. But if all the people in our area who can only afford ten dollars would donate, the number of checks will add up to a huge sum.
Please mail a check for what you can afford to -
