About the Benefiting Organizations

ChatterGirls

ChatterGirls stands for Celebrating Happy, Aspiring, Truthful, Thoughtful, Empowered, Responsible Girls.

Founded by Alicia Birong in October 2013, ChatterGirls was created to "Change the Chatter" and help girls ages 8 to 14 navigate social pressures, build self-esteem, and develop confidence. Through engaging programs and experiences, ChatterGirls equips young girls with the tools they need to become strong, resilient, and confident young women.

Kids in Need of McHenry County

Kids in Need of McHenry County (KIN) was established in 2017 by foster mothers who recognized significant resource gaps affecting children and families in crisis.

Today, KIN continues to develop programs that address the evolving needs of local families through two primary initiatives: Second Bridge and the Visitation Home.

Second Bridge provides essential resources to referred families through partnerships with school social workers, case managers, agency staff, and caregivers. In 2024, KIN expanded its services by opening The Bridge, a free store where families can access clothing, shoes, toiletries, bedding, toys, school supplies, winter apparel, and holiday gifts. For families without transportation, KIN arranges direct delivery of requested items.

The Visitation Home offers a safe, welcoming space where children in care can spend meaningful time with their biological families. Designed to feel like a real home, the environment allows families to share meals, play together, and strengthen bonds while receiving supportive supervision.

Together, ChatterGirls and Kids in Need of McHenry County are creating brighter futures by fostering confidence, connection, stability, and hope within our community.
