The Women of West Ridge partners with the Ruth Project, a non-for-profit organization located in downtown Elgin. Ruth Project supports foster families and children by providing resources to set them up for long-term success. They have a storefront in Elgin that is filled with donated clothes and shoes for children of all ages. If you haven’t been, it’s setup like a boutique where families can “shop” for items for their kiddos. Twice a year, the WOW ladies go in to help them swap out their seasonal clothes. It’s an easy way to serve for a few quick hours.

If you are interested, please register here so we can plan for you and send you more details! If you can please bring along a donation of a package or two of diapers and/or baby wipes. They can also use any new summer clothes too. Donating these items is not required but very much appreciated.
NOTE this event is not limited to Women of West Ridge – please consider bringing your spouse or kids (minimum age is 10 years old with parent) to help out. It’s also a great opportunity for high school kids looking to earn volunteer hours!
