When you’re out and about and you see someone who is homeless, do you wish you had something kind and useful to give them?
Come learn about homelessness as a family and create kindness kits that you can keep in your car to give to a homeless person. At this event we’ll learn about homelessness in DuPage County, some of the organizations that are fighting homelessness like DuPagePads, ad will make Kindness Kits that you can keep in your car and pass out. We’ll also read a story to better understand poverty and how we can all help.
What you need to bring
We’ll provide the supplies, so you can just come and enjoy time giving back as a family.

About the club
Inside Out Club DuPage (formerly I Support Community) started in September 2012 after seeing the overwhelming need for children to possess a strong foundation in character and community. Our mission is to develop kids with character inside and out.
Inside Out Club Opportunities
The Inside Out Club (IOC) is designed to engage kids and families in as many of these four opportunities as possible as they practice character skills and volunteer. Working with teachers, volunteers, parents, school administrators and outside organizations, the Inside Out Club is positively impacting more than 1,400 students and their families. IOC focuses on DuPage County and its needs.
What does Inside Out mean? We work to help students develop the character skills necessary to thrive in their lives, schools, and later in jobs and community. Lessons are based on the foundations of social and emotional learning, which helps people recognize and manage emotions, develop empathy for others, maintain cooperative relationships and make responsible decisions.
