ANNUAL COAT DRIVE
IWS COAT DRIVE
This year marks the 15th year that the Auxiliary will sponsor its Fall Coat Drive. The Auxiliary is partnering with the Warming Project, an initiative that supplies warm, quality winter coats to help charitable organizations such as the IWS Auxiliary.
A donation of $25 covers the cost of one new coat to help families in need navigate the Chicagoland area’s frigid winters.
Donations for coats must be received no later than September 22 to ensure delivery of coats in time for the November Coat Drive.
OUR CHAPTER
LAKE FOREST INFANT WELFARE SOCIETY
The Lake Forest Chapter of Infant Welfare Society of Chicago holds two major fund raising events. Every year we host Lake Forest Antiques & Treasures on the Sunday immediately following Labor Day. We hold our event in downtown Lake Forest at the train station's north lot on Western Ave. The change in venue has been a huge success! Our biennial Showhouse & Gardens is our largest fundraiser. It is nationally known and a highly anticipated event which happens in the spring / early summer for a duration of 4 weeks. In 2023 we featured 33 interior designers and 8 landscape designers at a beautiful Lake Forest estate. It was wildly successful! Check back often to learn more about LFIWS Showhouse 2025!
All donations and funds we raise support IWS Family Health, which supports vital medical issues, such as seeing sick patients in the clinic, testing equipment, reduction in service delivery, telehealth for counseling patients and much more. IWS is committed to doing everything possible to ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff. We can only achieve this goal with your help. We sincerely appreciate a donation of any amount.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
