This year’s Bishop’s Appeal will benefit United Voices for Children. UVC, a coalition of congregations, agencies, and individuals in the Northern Illinois Conference, speaks and acts on behalf of children, youth, and families in need.
The three primary affiliated organizations are Kids Above All (provides early childhood safe housing, trauma-informed counseling programs for children & families in Cook, DuPage, Kane & Lake counties), MYSI (provides shelter care for “at risk” youth, adults, & families with no or limited housing resources) and Rosecrance (drug, alcohol, and mental health rehabilitation for teens and adults),
Faith will be taking up a collection on June 2nd and June 9th to support the Bishop’s Appeal to be brought to the annual conference on June 16th.
