A Dri­ve With a Mission

A Togeth­er We Thrive Dri­ve sup­ports KYC’s pro­gram­ming through­out the year. Your gift helps clients access care or pro­vides the tools our pro­grams use to help clients reach their goals in ther­a­py ses­sions, groups, in-home ser­vices, after-school pro­grams, and more.

How to Participate

Make a Gift to Help Clients Access Care

Your mon­e­tary gift pro­vides trans­porta­tion to a client to get to and from receiv­ing care. Pub­lic trans­porta­tion is very lim­it­ed in the north­west sub­urbs and finan­cial chal­lenges can put vehi­cle own­er­ship out of reach. Your gift ensures that these fac­tors don’t pre­vent them from attend­ing a ther­a­py ses­sion, group, or pro­gram. Your dona­tion ensures that espe­cial­ly chal­leng­ing times don’t become a bar­ri­er to care when clients may need it most.

Make your gift below today to help con­nect a client to care.

Shop for Fre­quent­ly Request­ed Items for Programs

Your in-kind gift sup­ports our pro­grams through­out the year. Your gift may be used by groups or with indi­vid­ual clients as they prac­tice skills of dai­ly liv­ing, emo­tion man­age­ment tech­niques, or self-expres­sion. Your gift makes a last­ing impact as you help the peo­ple we serve work toward their goals. Items we need include:

  • Clean­ing supplies
  • Art sup­plies
  • Journals/​Notebooks
  • Writ­ing Utensils
  • Games
  • Cook­ware

Items are request­ed to be returned to KYC at our Schaum­burg office:
