Donation from Winnetka Congregational Church. Thank you!

Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection received a generous donation of $4,000 today from the Woman's Society of the Winnetka Congregational Church. We really appreciate it.

The money for this donation is raised each year through a fantastic Rummage Sale. The 2009 Sale will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2009 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m at the Winnetka Community House, 620 Lincoln, Winnetka Illinois. Call 847-446-0574



The maps we create show that there are many faith based organizations in the high poverty areas of Chicago and the suburbs where tutor/mentor programs are needed. The donation from the Winnetka Congregational Church illustrates how congregations beyond poverty can raise money that helps tutor/mentor programs operate in inner city neighborhoods.

We thank the good friends at the Winnetka Congregational Church for their donation, and hope that others in other faith groups throughout the region will duplicate their efforts in 2009 and beyond.
