Home of the Sparrow, Inc

Mission Statement

Home of the Sparrow provides Hope, Opportunity and Support to empower women and children as they journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Home of the Sparrow provides Transitional Shelter, as well as Affordable Housing, Subsidized Apartments, and Rapid Re-Housing for women and children. Our Supportive Services address the core issues of homelessness and include Case Management and Employment Assistance.

We invite you to volunteer and shop at our Sparrow's Nest and Community Tread Thrift Stores. Stores are located in Woodstock, McHenry, Cary, Palatine, Mundelein, Third Lake, and Arlington Heights. Proceeds of these stores help keep our doors open. Additional volunteer opportunities include Annual Events, Event Committee, Childcare at our Transitional Shelter and more!
