CHAD Multi-Tasking During The Holidays
Hope and Home for the Holidays concert
On Monday December 19, 2011, CHAD organized a concert of awareness and partnered with five other local non-profit organizations (DuPage Homeownership Center, Dreamz and Visionz, Loaves and Fishes, Naperville Cares and Senior Home Sharing) to accomplish this task. The concert was held to bring awareness to the community of the need that so many have for food and housing this holiday season and throughout the year. The evening was filled with entertainment and education about organizations that help families in need of food and shelter. We want to thank all the sponsors, volunteers who helped organize the concert, all the participating non-profits, performers and staff who helped make the event successful.

Once again, CHAD held a winter coat drive for those in need and was able to collect coats for many, which were donated from Dearborn National, NBC 5, the Salvation Army and staff.
