Ways for corporations to volunteer and support Misericordia

Misericordia welcomes corporations and businesses to our campus throughout the year to volunteer with the residents in their work opportunity programs as well as in our bakery during the holiday season.  Corporations are welcomed to come for the duration of the day, which includes a short presentation and tour followed by working with the residents in their work areas throughout campus. 

 

Grab an apron and help with Candy Days!

The most common way to help is with our Candy Day event held the last Friday and Saturday of April. Over 8,000 volunteers come together for 2 days and collect donations on the streets, at businesses, store fronts and on-line throughout the Chicagoland  area. Individual donors are acknowledged with packets of Jelly Belly candy donated by our corporate partner, Jelly Belly Candy Company. Over one million packets are passed out during the event.

Huen Electric

HuenHuen Electric is not only a long time corporate partner of Misericordia, but supports Candy Days by having its employees  work a major intersection in Westchester on the Friday of Candy Days.
