This is Senior Home Sharing’s main fundraiser for the year. This event is important to help the growing population of senior citizens around DuPage County that need an affordable independent living option. All the proceeds go directly to serving and growing the Senior Home Sharing mission. $50.00 provides three home cooked meals per day for one resident for a whole month! $100.00 provides a housing subsidy for a low income resident for a whole week! All other donations continue to give Senior Home Sharing residents a place to call home.
