Amidst the chaos and cold of the holiday season, 50 of our closest friends, colleagues and neighborhood allies showed their support and joined us for the launch of Firebelly Foundation’s new nonprofit, Reason To Give.
Thrilled to be amongst the first to donate, our generous guests met the needs of several families that night. Items made possible where a new stove, a new bed and bedding, kitchen appliances and warm winter clothes. Watch one of the success stories.
Doubling as a ‘Taste of Humboldt Park’, the launch event also showcased delicious food from some of Humboldt Park’s best restaurants including: Coco, Flying Saucer, Latin American Restaurant & Lounge, Maíz, Tipsy Cake and Treat.
With everyone’s support and excitement, the Reason To Give launch party was an enormous success. For more information or to volunteer, visit ReasonToGive.org.
In the coming weeks we’ll be shooting 9 new stories and adding more needs to the site. We’ll also be implementing some great new features like incremental donating so multiple shoppers can share in the purchase of bigger ticket items.
