GET INVOLVED
Personal Hygiene Drive - #Inkindiskind
As an organization focused on the holistic health and development of our clients, HOW regularly gathers and distributes in kind donations throughout the year including housewares, cleaning supplies, and more. HOW's Personal Hygiene Drive is wrapping up in three days, and we are still in need of donations, and volunteers to help sort and package donated items. Last year, members from the Wind Rose Project, We Go High, CVS Health, Seyfarth Shaw LLP's Women's Network, and other fabulous organizations and individuals gave generously and lent a helping hand! Get involved by donating through Amazon or signing-up to volunteer .
Client Profile - Jetaime
When Jetaime began working with HOW's employment team in September 2018 her top priority was to secure a job. In the subsequent months, Jetaime worked closely with the team to create a resume, conduct a job search, acquire professional clothing, and prepare for interviews. As a result of her hard work and commitment, Jetaime secured a job as a research assistant at the University of Chicago and is thriving in her new role. An active member of the HOW community, she works with her case manager to take full advantage of the organization's diverse programming and continues to be a vital contributor to many HOW programs.
