At Lazarus House, our mission is to offer guests connected to our communities, who are homeless or in need, hope for the future by providing safe shelter, food and education — tools for life. We strive to make certain that all who enter feel the love of Jesus.

Your gifts make a direct impact on people’s lives. Only through your gifts can we keep our doors open 24 hours, every day of the year.

 

Here’s how your gifts make a difference every day:

Join Our
Care is Never Canceled Community 
A treasured group that fund, celebrate, and advocate for Lazarus House on a recurring monthly basis.

The support of this community, for the individuals and families served through Lazarus House, has been, and continues to be the backbone of all the care and compassion our guests receive. Our mission of caring for our most vulnerable neighbors is never ending, and will never be placed on pause. We continue to need your help.

We invite you to join us by becoming a MONTHLY DONOR. Being a monthly donor is a safe, simple, and effective way to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Your MONTHLY SUPPORT will allow us to continue our mission of offering our guests, who are homeless or in need, hope for the future. Any donation amount has impact!

P.S. Not ready to become a monthly donor right now?  You can still help out by making a one-time donation AND forwarding this message to family and friends. We would really appreciate it!

Best,
Julie Purcell, Executive Director

Vehicle Donations

Lazarus House is pleased to partner with Cars of Hope for vehicle donations.
This organization is run by volunteers that repair and donate cars to under-resourced families in the western suburbs. This partnership will assist some of our guests in overcoming a barrier of transportation. If you are thinking of donating and wish to speak to us first, please call (630) 587-2144.

Whether it’s running or not, Cars of Hope will take a donated car, truck or van and make repairs needed in order to ensure it’s safe, reliable and affordable for families to maintain. If it’s not, they sell the vehicle at auction — or scrap it for parts — and use the proceeds to pay for repairs at a professional automotive shop that work with Cars of Hope on a nonprofit basis.

Please reach out to Cars of Hope, at (224)216-CARS, to learn more about this wonderful organization and be sure to let them know you were directed by Lazarus House.
