How You Can Help

Welcome · How You Can Help

You can impact the lives of children and families when you get involved with LYDIA. Opportunities include: volunteering, planning an event on behalf of LYDIA (such as a casual dress Friday at your place of work), becoming a financial partner or donating items on our wish list. Everyone makes a difference at LYDIA!


DONATIONS
Most of our services depend on private contributions. That’s why your financial partnership is so vital! It ensures our continued success in helping children and adults overcome difficult circumstances. Together, we can strengthen families and give people hope for the future!

If you would like to make a donation, one convenient option is to do so online through our secure one-time donation page. You also can sign up for automatic monthly donations, which authorizes that gifts be made from your checking account via electronic transfer on a day of the month you specify.

Many other giving options exist, including:
  • Donating by phone using your credit card;
  • Making a gift of appreciated stock or real estate;
  • Giving to LYDIA's Loved Ones Memorial, which is designed to honor special people in your life;
  • Asking your employer to match your gift to LYDIA;
  • Donating your used car;
  • And adding LYDIA to your estate plan.

CONTACT INFORMATION

To learn more about your giving options and other specific areas of need, please contact Sylvia Ortiz, Development Associate, at 773-653-2223. 

However you choose to give, you can be confident that your contribution will be used to invest in people whose lives can be transformed through an encounter with LYDIA. Thank you for your generosity!
