TOP WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED WITH WILLOW HOUSE
Friend or Follow - Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/WillowHouseIL/
Walk or Run - The Willow House Walk to Remember & Run for Hope is one of our signature fundraising and awareness events. Join or create a team; volunteer on the day of the event and have fun while helping to raise funds for grieving children and families.
Create your own event - Charge a small fee for your next party and have the proceeds benefit Willow House. Get your family, friends or coworkers together to support a worthwhile cause.
Get Willow House Involved – Is there a health fair in your community? Does your place of employment or school hold a fundraiser that benefits different nonprofits? Can you introduce us to someone who will sponsor an event? If you know of an opportunity to raise funds or make Willow House more visible in the community, please let us know.
Donate Now - Visit www.willowhouse.org to donate. Get your company to match your donation to double your impact.
Show Compassion and Understanding – Grief is not a mental disorder. Grief is a normal and natural response to a life altering event. Understand that individuals grieve in different ways. See http://www.willowhouse.org/tips-for-helping-children-cope.html to learn how to help children cope with the death of a loved one.
Speak Out – Grieving children are more likely to be bullied in school. Be an advocate for grieving children and make sure they are treated properly. To learn about the myths and misconceptions surrounding grief go to http://www.willowhouse.org/myths-and-misconceptions.html.
Volunteer – There is always something happening at Willow House! Attend a training to work directly with our children and families or lend a helping hand at one of our events. To volunteer email Willow House staff at [email protected] and request more information about current opportunities.
Get Support – If you or someone you know are dealing with the loss of a loved one, please know you are not alone. Get help and join a support group. See www.willowhouse.org or call (847) 236-9300.
