U of I Season of Service Event
Saturday, April 26th, 2025 from 8:30am to 12:00pm | Facebook Event
Women Giving Back
Men can volunteer too!
Calling all DC Illini! Join us for our annual "Season of Service" project. Illinin Clubs across the country participate in a service project each spring. This year, the DC Illini is supporting a local charity--Women Giving Back. This organization supports women and children in crisis on a first step to stability by providing quality clothing at no cost. Since 2016, Women Giving Back has served more than 30K women and 48K children by distributing (not selling) more than 3.4 million articles of clothing to women and children throughout the Greater Washington Metro area.
How can you partipate? There are several ways you help!
First, you can donate items to the cause and you don't even need to leave your home. Click here to purchase items on their Amazon registry and Amazon will ship the items direct to Women Giving Back. The registry items are things that cannot be donated as used items (underwear, diapers, etc). If you choose to do this, please mention the DC Illini in the "gift message" when you check out.
Second, if you'd like to volunteer in person, we have space for 10 volunteers to work a shift on April 26th. We will be volunteering at their location near Dulles Airport, but we will provide transportation for any volunteers without a car who need a ride. If you'd like to support in person, click the RSVP button below to reserve your space. We will also keep a waitlist in case we're informed of any last minute drop-outs from our group OR any other groups who signed up to help that day.
Third, if you or your family have quality women's or children's clothing to donate, please consider donating them to this charity at one of their drop off sites.
Please let us know if you provided a donation. DC Illini who support our Month of Giving project will receive a t-shirt!
To sign up to volunteer in person, use the RSVP button at the very bottom of this page. Thank you!
We hope to see you there, I-L-L !
