The Power of Mom, Mother’s Day event is a 100% community give-back. This event is to ignite moms to get more involved in their community and model for children through the REAL experience of collecting and packaging toiletry kits for families in transitional housing and homeless shelters. In Urbana, Courage Connection will be receiving this year’s donations. Below are the details:
WHAT? Join us in collecting household items for women and their families in transitional housing. Items will be donated to Courage Connection her in Urbana
WHY? Women and families represent the fastest growing percentage of homelessness in the US.

The ripple effect a mom has on her children most often comes through the REAL life experiences she gives them. Women and families represent the fastest growing group of the homeless population in the United States. All proceeds raised are given directly to each community’s chosen organization. It is a way to share what it means to truly engage with your community and dedicate SERVICE to that community, so it becomes a way of life.
Change starts at home.
