Looking for another opportunity to brighten an elder’s day?  Give Chocolates!  We’re partnering with Purple Monkey Playroom to bring sweet treats to the elderly and you can help! Between May 1 and June 30, bring in a box of chocolates to Purple Monkey and take $2 off one full price admission.

Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly: a national network of non-profit volunteer-based organizations committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly. We offer to people of goodwill the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and celebration of life.

More than Milk has been a wonderful partner to Open Books and we are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them. MTM developed an ongoing philanthropic-themed storytime at the Open Books store, created a fundraising read-a-thon to help support our literacy programs, and organized fun, engaging events for parents and young children to learn about giving back and the importance of reading (we are a literacy organization, after all!).

We love the idea of family volunteerism and hope that More than Milk can continue to inspire new generations of civic-minded and conscientious community members! Thank you More than Milk! – Erica Hawkinson, Open Books Marketing Manager

We can’t thank you enough for all the help your volunteer moms gave to assist in completing our end of the year mailing. Because of your time and effort, we have been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars in support! Also, your financial contribution and hundreds of donated toys and items for women in our program allowed us to offer a happier holiday to 121 families with 319 children through our Holiday Gift Project.  - Juliet Yera, Sarah’s Inn Development Director

Thank you to More Than Milk for their amazing partnership these last two months! We’ve had wonderful volunteer support, families interested in fitness training for the New Balance Girls on the Run – Chicago 5k, and generous donations that will help us provide program scholarships! Check out this great organization. -Emily Sladek, GOTR Chicago Volunteer & Community Outreach Coordinator

We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with the incredible women (and their adorable children) of More Than Milk. Their fund- and awareness-raising initiatives were unmatched. We are also grateful for the opportunity to expose so many women in our target demographic to our mission.- Lindsay Avner, Bright Pink Founder & Executive Director
