Hope and Friendship
Ripples Made in 2021

We are so thankful for all of you who worked to Be the Change we wanted to see in 2021. Please see this summary of your impact last year. Thank you!

Hope and Friendship
Team Compassion

We have been continuing to rally support around our neighbors who are battling cancer.  We have tried to offer what we can as we are able to our littlest superhero and quite a few moms fighting through this battle and caring for their babies.

If you like to cook, or if you would like to offer a meal via a gift card, it would help one of our friends who have more than a load than a person should have to carry.

We have a few Meal Trains with openings:
**Meal Sign Up for a mom within our reach battling pancreatic cancer
 

**Meal Sign Up for our little Superhero
 

**Meal Sign Up for a mom who has been loving on her kids as well as hundreds from our community, all while battling cancer once again

​

Wish List for Parker

Our friend Parker will turn 2 years old on August 13th

We would like to shower Parker and his parents with some gifts that he enjoys/needs, and that will help them as they help him move through his battle with cancer. 

​

Order your #ParkerPower Shirt and help our little Superhero!​

​

A special thank you to all of these local merchants who are joining in the cause to help Parker and his family. Please visit them to drop off your donations and support them as they support Parker.

Bicycle Recycle

​

Drop Off - now through May 20

Lemont Police Station

​

Giveaway Day - May 21

9 am - Noon

Lemont Police Station

​

The 10th Hope and Friendship Bicycle Recycle will be on Saturday, May 21st from 9 am-12noon at the Lemont Police Station.

 
Please see this flyer to help rally donations so that we can continue to put "new" wheels under different ownership!  We have seen such amazing matches of a friend who has come to find a bike for transportation to work, school, around town or a young friend who is in need of their first bike or one that will fit their new height!

If you know of anyone struggling to afford a bike and would like to see if we have one to offer please let them know to come by on Saturday, May 21st between 9 am-12noon......but before that, we need donations so if you could help me spread the word the Lemont Police Dept. is our drop until Friday, May 20th.

I have a few friends who are offering to tweak the bikes and make them safely rideable so they will be keeping an eye on the donations and working on them until our giveaway day.

Any questions please holler!!!
