No child should go without the basics.

But right here in our community, 339 children in District 303 are experiencing homelessness—and 2,335 more are just one paycheck away from the same reality. Families are being forced to make impossible choices between rent, food, and everyday essentials. And too often, it’s the kids who go without.

That’s where Big Hearts of Fox Valley steps in.

As a proud charity partner of District 303 and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we provide critical support to local children and families facing financial hardship, including:

• Back-to-school supplies so students can start the year prepared and confident
• Holiday support to ensure every child experiences the joy of the season
• Emergency assistance for families facing unexpected hardship
• Everyday essentials like food, toiletries, and basic necessities

Because something as simple as a backpack, a meal, or a bottle of shampoo can change how a child shows up—in school, at home, and in life.

And with your help, we can reach even more families who need us.
