Last chance to make a difference! Join WIPA Chicago and board member Andrew Weeks on Friday, April 14!

WIPA Chicago has joined forces with DIGS WITH DIGNITY and we now have an opportunity for our members to make a true difference and help a Chicago family move into their new home on April 14th!

You and your fellow WIPA members will meet the DIGS WITH DIGNITY team at 9am outside the family's future Chicago home. You will get a t-shirt, the game plan, and then the work begins. Over the next few hours, with your help, this empty home will be transformed into fully furnished, amazingly designed, warm, welcoming, cozy home that will be the foundation for this family's future.

At 3pm, your work will be done, and the family will come home for the first time. Watching the family enter their home is magical. It is a transformational moment in their lives and knowing that you had a part in it will be with you forever.

What could possibly make this experience even more meaningful? Getting to share it with your fellow WIPA Chicago friends.
