• The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans (MSHV) in Wheaton, IL
With the mission “Serving Those Who Served the Nation”, this program helps veterans transition from homelessness to independent living within a two-year time frame (the average stay is 6 months). The program is run 24/7 by a dedicated staff of professionals who provide a wide range of intensive one-on-one support services.

Harvest Time at the 2010 Global Hope Community Garden
Global Hope, with the help of many dedicated volunteers (55 this season), have been committed to tending our bountiful garden with amazing heart. Divided into several teams, the weeding and watering continues. At last count our plentiful harvest of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, squash, radishes, beets, tomatillos, onions, etc has filled 80 bags that have supplied both Downers Grove PADS and FISH food pantries with healthy organic vegetables.
"Goodwill in Motion" - that's what we're all about and this beautiful video says it all!!

May 29, 2010 was “Planting Day” at the Global Hope Community Garden at Mar-Duke Farm in Downers Grove. 40 Volunteers gathered to plant and water approximately 150 vegetables, herbs and flowers. Beautiful Plant Markers and a storage bench were designed and painted by several "junior volunteers". Global Hope will donate all produce to DuPage PADS and FISH Food Pantry for distribution to local families and individuals.

The “Goodwill in Motion” this past Sunday (2/7/10) at Global Hope's “Hands-On Day for our Neighbors in Haiti” event was a sight to behold!! The fervor of volunteers working together in one large room was an experience to behold. Words fall short in an attempt to describe 66 volunteers, working side-by-side, heart-to-heart and hand-to-hand – each moved by the desire to help the sick and wounded by supplying hospital sheets and tourniquets – each connected by the wish to add dignity to the multitude of burials by decorating sheets for palls.
For the next five hours a crescendo of love and compassion directed busy hands to sort, cut, design, paint, glue, iron, fold, pack and label hundreds of sheets and pillowcases for a total of 43 boxes packed, sealed and ready for delivery by days end:
- 167 decorated palls,
- 1,109 nondecorated palls and sheets,
- 5 boxfuls of tourniquet fabrics and
- 40 sets of new packaged sheets, at final count
Outstanding!!
Our “gifts of love” were carefully…
