            Assisting Families in Need

The mission of Naperville CARES is to help local families in financial crisis meet their essential needs by providing emergency financial support and resources.

“Just wanted to send a big thank you for helping me with my recent car repair. Your kindness and generosity lifted me out of the pit of despair and gave me my freedom back by helping repair my car. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and pray God will bless each and everyone of you as well as your ministry.”

“A sincere thanks to the staff at Naperville CARES. A special thanks to the distinguished gentleman who was both professional and humane who conducted the interview. The request for assistance was difficult and somewhat embarrassing for me. I entered your facility with trepidation and exited with my dignity in tact.”
