Over $12,000 was raised to support the 60+ programs and services that JOURNEYS provide to those in need!
St. Patrick's Day Parade
Come out to the Palatine St. Patrick's Celebration Parade!
JOURNEYS is, once again, the charity partner of this year’s St. Patrick’s Celebrations on Saturday, March 12th, sponsored by Durty Nellie’s who is celebrating 50 years in Palatine. Please consider bringing non-perishable food items and drop them off at the American Legion in Palatine or
Durty Nellie’s!
Help JOURNEYS help those most in need. JOURNEYS will need several refrigerated and nonperishable meal kits dropped off Mondays, at the HOPE Center to be brought to clients staying in the hotels.
Meal kits will provide clients with enough breakfast and lunches for a week. Each kit will provide meals for 2 clients per hotel room.
