Thank you, Hinsdale Junior Woman's Club!

I write this letter of thanks on behalf of Bridge Communities’ staff, board of directors, and client families, to express our gratitude and awe of each member of the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club.

During the past two years of charitable partnership, I have come to believe that these women embody the definition of philanthropy: “for the love of humankind.” Their dedication to changing the lives of their fellow neighbors and families in need is inspiring.

HJWC commitment to Bridge has gone far and above the call of duty. The Club has planned and executed numerous events to enrich the lives of our client families, where each and every one exceeded our expectations. And to cap off a terrific year, HJWC presented Bridge Communities with an unprecedented $250,000 donation on May 10. Thank you!

Rest assured, even as our formal partnership comes to a close, you will continue to save the lives of hundreds of homeless children from the trauma of homelessness and give them every opportunity for a successful life. The Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club Children’s Services Endowment Fund will provide critical care to hundreds of homeless children for years to come.

Saying “thank you” just does not seem like enough to express our gratitude. But, I assure you that my thanks (and that of our entire team) is true and heartfelt. You are saving lives!
