Our Current Recipient

If using our secure online donation form, please specify Pay It 4Ward / Children's Home & Aid in the memo field.

Our April-May-June 2023 PayIt4Ward Collection will benefit Children’s Home and Aid, a leading child and family service agency in Illinois. The organization helps children recover their health, their hope, and their faith in the people around them. The funds collected will be used to support the mission and services of Children’s Home and Aid.

​

Children’s Home and Aid works with nearly 30,000 children and families each year. Their vision is of an equitable world where all children and families thrive in strong communities.

 

Donations will benefit the many programs of the organization, including adoption and foster care, trauma counselling for children and teams, home visits and doula services for expectant parents, early childhood education and support for working parents, support for dads seeking stronger connections with their children, programs to strengthen families and keep children out of foster care, and many other programs and services serving children and families.

A thermometer graph will be displayed at church and updated as donations are received. We are setting a goal of $500 and hope to reach or surpass that goal to support this worthy organization. Donations may be sent in or dropped off to the church office, or made electronically through the Spring Creek website's DONATE button located at the top of every webpage. Please specify PayIt4Ward in the memo field or select it from the dropdown menu of giving selections.
