Announcing our first ever NSBA Day of Service.
On March 3rd we will spend the day at Misericordia.
Misericordia offers a community of care that maximizes potential for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. By serving society’s most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them, yet cannot provide it at home. Through a spectrum of residential options on its 37 acre Chicago campus in the community, and with a wide variety of programs, Misericordia currently serves more than 600 children and adults residentially, from diverse racial, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. Twenty percent of our residents either come from poverty families or have no families and are wards of the State.

SCHEDULE
Our day will start at 10am and go until approximately 2:30pm and will include a guided tour of the campus, lunch and volunteer opportunities with the residents.
This promises to be an experience where we will receive far more than we give through our interactions with the residents and staff at Misericordia.
DIRECTIONS & PARKING INFO
Please use 6300 N. Ridge Ave on your navigation systems to get the most accurate directions.
