What's New

Warm Wishes is in its 16th year and its success is directly related to the unceasing generosity of people just like you. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we rely heavily on public support. Since there is no paid staff, all contributions directly benefit the organization. Whether you choose to make an in-kind or financial donation, it is truly appreciated.

Warm Wishes is an organization that collects and distributes blankets and sleeping bags to homeless and needy people in the Chicagoland area. It is all the volunteers who dedicate their talents that makes this work. Whether its organizing a community collection or carrying out blanket distributions, administrative work or quilt making and mending, there are many opportunities for volunteers. We welcome all who are interested in the mission, regardless of age or experience.

Warm Wishes has distributed well over 23,000 blankets and bedding items. This accomplishment is the direct result of dedicated volunteers and public support. Thank you for all your contributions.
