Mimi's House has a new home!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Mimi’s House has purchased our new home in Waukegan and is already welcoming children and families through its doors. This larger space allows us to expand our programs - including supervised family visits, parenting classes, foster parent support groups, play therapy, and counseling—so more families can find healing and hope.
 
We’ve passed the halfway point of our $200,000 Building Capital Campaign, and now we need your help to cross the finish line. Every gift brings us closer to fully funding and maintaining this home, ensuring it remains a place of safety, growth, and support for years to come.
 
Together, we can finish strong.
