Meet Our 2019 Recipient Agencies

To be considered for approval, agencies applying to be a Witches Night Out Joliet Recipient Agency must be a registered 501(c)(3) organization located in Will County.

CASA Of River Valley
CASA of River Valley works to ensure that all of the abused and neglected children served find safe and secure homes where they are able to recover from their past and look towards a brighter future. CASA acts as the child’s voice in court, helping to navigate the confusing maze of the juvenile court system and making sure that the child’s needs are met. More than 90% of the children served come from low-income families. Donations from individuals ensure that the children served receive the services they need free of cost. It costs CASA $1,000 per child, per year to offer services. The barriers to recovery from abuse and neglect may seem insurmountable, but they can be overcome with community support.
Guardian Angel Community Services
Guardian Angel assists women who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Donations provide the Groundwork Domestic Violence Program at Guardian Angel Community Services with the ability to meet their clients’ needs in many ways. Last year, Groundwork replaced an outdated freezer in their shelter kitchen and purchased brand new beds for client use. The donation also assists in providing the sheltered women and children with food, basic need items, and ongoing supportive services.
MorningStar Mission
MorningStar Mission Ministries is a non-denominational organization dedicated to relieving the spiritual and physical hunger of the poor by providing food for the hungry, clothing for the needy, shelter for the homeless and the Gospel of Jesus Christ for all. The 113 to 150 women and children that reside with MorningStar Mission Ministries Women& Family Center do so at no expense to themselves. They are provided with food, shelter, clothing, hygiene and toiletries, paper products, bedding, laundry supplies and snacks.
Stepping Stones Treatment Center
