#MissionMoment: Last week a local boys basketball team visited Hope Manor II and helped plant tulips for the spring! The boys helped with digging, raking, and planting 500 tulips. We're so grateful they were able to help before the first freeze hits Chicago. We can't wait to see them bloom next year and work with this group of young men again! #TheVOAWay

Grateful for Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education - ACCME's support of our Holiday Wishes program! Look how beautifully wrapped those gifts are. #TheVOAWay

Our ACCME staff was delighted to work with VOA Illinois to provide holiday gifts for foster children and children of veterans in Illinois. While the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted feelings of isolation and uncertainty, there are still meaningful ways to bring communities together and spread much-needed joy. #LearnWell #GiveWell

#MissionMoment: It's starting to look like Santa's workshop at our main office! We're so grateful for everyone that participated in this year's Holiday Wishes program and helped make wishes come true for the kids we serve!

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to put a smile on a child's face this holiday season! #TheVOAWay

A special thank you to the Chicago Bears Outreach team for inviting female Veterans on our team to their Women in Service event this past week. The dinner honored and thanked female Veterans for their sacrifice and dedication to our country. In addition they hosted a panel, led by reporter Lauren Screeden, talking about what it means to be a female Veteran and women in leadership. Our very own Akya, center of photo, participated in the panel! We're so grateful for the outreach team and their support of our work! #TheVOAWay
