Wake Up Your Spirit Day

Please join us on Wednesday, November 8, at Abbington Banquets for networking, a warm breakfast, inspirational messages, and DuPagePads updates from CEO April Redzic during the 21st Annual Wake Up Your Spirit Day.

Featuring keynote speaker, Diane Nilan, HEAR US founder/president, chronicles poverty, homelessness, and life along America's backroads. A long-time world-changer for people experiencing homelessness, Diane was instrumental in developing what became Catholic Charities' Daybreak Center and served as Associate Director of Hesed House. She was also a key advocate in the creation of today's McKinney Vento law.

"Waking up our spirits fuels our hearts for the essential work of compassion. What we put into this work creates a compassion epidemic that touches lives far beyond what we can imagine!" - Diane Nilan

Guests will also hear firsthand from a client whose life has been transformed by services made possible through donors' generous support.
