Festa Parties Donates Clothing to Mercy Home For Boys & Girls in Chicago

Festa Parties, in conjunction with its sibling company, Great To Be Here T-Shirts, has donated over 250 pieces of new and gently used clothing to the Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Chicago. In addition to some brand new infant wear, onesies, kids t-shirts, and womens t-shirts we had in overstock, we have also donated 31 lovely new junior fleece hoodies, along with a number of sweaters, coats, unisex t-shirts, and other outerwear.  We’re confident these garments will be put to great use by this great organization!

Mercy Home offers young people in crisis an opportunity—one that can save their lives, and change their futures.

More About Mercy Home…

Mercy Home for Boys & Girls has been a solution for kids in crisis since 1887. Through its full-time residential, aftercare and community-based mentoring programs, Mercy Home provides nurturing, guidance and opportunity to more than 400 hurting and troubled young women and men every year. At the core of Mercy Home’s mission is its full-time, residential program, which provides a safe and stable home for 134 young people, ages 11 to 21. Young people who have suffered abuse, neglect, poverty and even abandonment receive life-changing therapeutic, academic and vocational support at Mercy Home. A program of aftercare offers these young people continued connection to their Mercy Home family and gives them access to a host of support services after they have transitioned to living outside of the Home—regardless of age or time away. In addition, Mercy Home’s Friends First mentoring program matches at-risk youth who live out in the wider community with much-needed adult role models. Through our admissions process, Mercy Home makes professional referral services available to hundreds more troubled kids in crisis every year who need help, but whose individual needs may be better met at qualified social service programs other than Mercy Home.  Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is a not-for-profit agency that is 99.7% privately funded and operates on two Chicago campuses – a home for boys at 1140 W. Jackson Blvd. and a home for girls at 11600 S. Longwood Drive.
