Create a peer-to-peer fundraiserHi all,
Thanks so much for being willing to support me in many ways - especially financially! On October 11, 2020 I am running the 2020 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and Shamrock Shuffle and raising money for the poor in Chicago through Team Our Lady of the Angels!
Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to the West Humboldt Park, Chicago- one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the United States. The Mission feeds about 1000 families a month, provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens, and, most importantly, brings the love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of hope.
Funds raised from Team OLA 2020 will be used to complete the renovation & begin the programming out of the Mission's new outreach center to the poor in West Humboldt Park, Chicago. The new outreach center will provide the very needed space for the Mission's donation storage/ distribution, a handicapped accessible kitchen/ dining room, meeting space for neighborhood and retreat groups, and a 45+ bedroom retreat center for volunteers and retreat guests.

We need your help to complete this project! Be part of the miracle that is TEAM OLA! Please consider donating to help me reach my goal. Thanks in advance!
The Mission is a 501(c)(3) and relies entirely on the donations of private donors.
