FILL A HEART 4 KIDS INC

Description

In 2007, the McAveeney family opened their hearts & home to a precious baby in need of a temporary home. This experience exposed them to a world of vulnerable children couch-hopping, living in abandoned buildings, cars, garages, or living in under-funded foster care facilities and group homes. For 16 years, the McAveeneys' home has been a safe place for homeless children and teens across the Chicagoland area.

In 2008, FAH4K started igniting hope with Project Valentine WeCare Packages(tm) to help children living in group facilities feel loved and remembered on Valentine's Day and other holidays. FAH4K gained 501(c)(3) status in 2015, broadening its ability to support at-risk Illinois youth.

Today, FAH4K supports over 4000 foster, at-risk and homeless children annually by providing critical necessities, food, clothing, educational support, life skills opportunities, and enriching hands-on volunteer opportunities to "Build Brighter Futures 4 Kids".
