November Fundraisers in support of We Grow Dream’s Capital Campaign

The holidays are right around the corner, whether we want that or not! But we have a couple of answers to the age-old question: What do I get for (fill in the name of family member, friend, spouse, self, cousin, teacher, etc)?

We Grow Dreams has the answer! We are partnering for the first time with 2 local businesses and are so excited.

Texas Roadhouse has over 700 locations nationwide, so for gifts going near or far – this is a GREAT OPTION! Follow the link to purchase E-Gift cards via our special site from November 2-15, cards will arrive via e-mail around November 23, and are valid at all locations with NO expiration date!

Additionally, for local pickup here at the greenhouse you can bring home some of their delicious rolls and honey butter frozen to be ready to go for your next holiday meal! Pickup available on November 24 or by special arrangement.

The TOP CONTRIBUTOR to this fundraiser will receive a soft, plush Texas Roadhouse branded throw blanket to snuggle up under after a good meal. Remember 10% of all proceeds from these two options will get paid back to We Grow Dreams to be put toward our Capital Campaign!

Kendra Gives Back to benefit We Grow Dreams!

For those with a taste for the finer things, without the calories, or for those who have extra special meaning in your life, consider getting them something that sparkles from Kendra Scott in Naperville! They carry truly unique pieces, some with interchangeable colors so that one piece of jewelry can go with a number of different outfits and ocassions! For those that are maybe a bit challenging to shop for, this is an excellent place to find something neat and different! Shop their online shop via the link below between November 11-13 using code GIVEBACK-MXOAN so that 20% of your total purchase is given back to We Grow Dreams to put towards our Capital Campaign!

If you are more of a hands on shopper, stop by their Naperville store at 55 South Main Street on the night of November 11th from 5-7PM, be sure to mention us at checkout so that 20% of your purchase will be donated back to We Grow Dreams to be applied towards our Capital Campaign!

Getting Ready for Winter!

Mum season is winding down and we are looking toward the end of the year and cooler temperatures! Our team is busy buttoning up greenhouses, turning on heaters, and huddling all of our remaining plants together as we all prepare for the winter slow down. We are getting ready for our end of the year push to bring people in during the holiday season. If you haven’t experienced winter here at the greenhouse yet, take a peek at our Winter Order Form to see some of what we create for the season filled with snow before we again fill our benches with spring and summer annuals come next year! View our unique evergreen reindeer and sno gnomes, or see what else we have in store for this holiday season. Be sure to place your order for what you cannot live without, these products do sell out for the season, but we have so much more to offer for gifts, decorations and more while helping to support our mission to provide job trainining and employment for adults with disabilities.

Keep the Momentum Going: We Grow Dreams Capital Campaign

We’ve received an amazing initial response from our Capital Campaign launch. Thank you so much to all of our first round contributors! There is still a BIG gap between where we are and where our goal is, but with your support through donations, sharing with friends and family, and purchasing plants here at the greenhouse we can continue to make this dream possible for our many team members and their family, and hopefully many more as the years go on! Any donation big or small can help us to reach our goal – you can even choose monthly donations to show just how little donations can make a big different over time! Please see our GoFundMe Page or reach out to us at the greenhouse to make a donation or discuss a business that may be interested in contributing to our Capital Campaign and support our mission.

A Blast From The Past!

Please enjoy this video from years ago when We Grow Dreams was just beginning. Some things have changed, but the dream remains the same! We are still growing and providing real work opportunities for our team members – some in this video are team members who are still working here today! We are so glad to provide a safe inclusive space for so many to come in and experience teamwork, friendship, and a good day’s work here regularly without the expectation to work faster or outside of their comfort zone. Thank you to our Team Member Families for their years of trust and support!
