Little City Foundation

🎉 In celebration of Little City’s 65th anniversary, we’re marking this milestone with an exciting opportunity! 🎉 Starting with our annual Day of Giving, you can make TWICE the impact when you give today! To honor this special occasion, our Board of Directors is MATCHING every dollar donated through Giving Tuesday (December 3) – up to $15,000! 💙 For over six decades, supporters like you have helped advance our mission to empower people with disabilities. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the people we serve are better off because of the work we do together. Let’s make year 66 even stronger! 💪 https://lnkd.in/gEzS_x3x

We were honored to have Illinois State Senator Laura Murphy and Illinois State Representative Michelle Mussman join us for the ribbon cutting of the final home in the Duffey Family Children’s Village. Their support means so much as we celebrate this incredible milestone for Little City and the future of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Thank you for being a part of this special day!

Last chance to visit the Little City Harvest Stand this Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM! 🎃🍅 Get your fall favorites while they last, including pumpkins and fresh-picked tomatoes. 🍁✨ Come celebrate the end of the season with us and take home something special! 🍁✨ Find us at the Little City Horticulture Center (the big A-frame building), 1760 W.

We’re excited to share a special matching gift opportunity happening right now through Giving Tuesday! 🎉 Thanks to our Board of Directors, every dollar you donate will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $15,000! But here’s the best part: Your gift will enrich the lives of twice as many people with disabilities. 💙 Like Paulina, who’s learning to regulate her emotions and communicate thanks to sensory tools and technology. Or James, a non-verbal individual with autism who’s found his voice through art therapy. We can’t do this without you! Please consider donating today to double your impact and help even more people exceed their unique potential for a lifetime. 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gEzS_x3x

Little City recently celebrated the completion of a remarkable 10-year journey with the ribbon cutting of the sixth and final home in the Duffey Family Children’s Village! John and Becky Duffey, who have been the driving force behind the Village for the past decade, were there to cut the ribbon and see their vision become reality. A huge thank you to the Duffeys and to all the donors, supporters, board members, staff and families who helped make this dream possible. The future is brighter than ever for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities!
