Give a Gift

As a small, nonprofit, child welfare agency, financial gifts make a difference to the work that St. Mary’s staff does every day. Adoption fees only cover slightly more than half of the agency’s operating expenses. We need your help to fill in the gap between revenue and operating expenses.

If you are interested in supporting St. Mary’s and specifically, the pregnant women in crisis who we serve, please call us at 1-847-870-8181 and ask to speak with Jamie Hammer, office administrator. We appreciate your interest in St. Mary’s work to build loving families.
