Marcy’s Project is a nonprofit that provides aid to those in crisis or emergency situations in the

St. Charles area. We are 100% volunteers with no paid employees.

We accept clothes and home goods items donations on Saturday mornings 9 am-12 pm or by

appointment.

We operate on donations, sponsorships, fundraising, and a few small grants. There are two

primary fundraising events annually, the Bemo’s Golf Tournament in the fall, and the Veterans

Serving America Cornhole Tournament each spring, both benefitting Marcy’s Project!

We are always open to new volunteers joining us! We have several opportunities to get

involved!

We focus on four core projects:

Marcy’s Meals is not only a mission to feed those in need but also to educate them on how to

incorporate healthy options on a budget. We provide meals once a month, January through

October. Marcy’s Meals include ingredients, spices, recipes, and the shopping list to make 4-5

dinners, breakfast, and fruit for under $60! We currently support 80 families per month! Our

goal is to add 5 families per month, serving 100 families by the end of 2024.

Marcy’s Market offers clothing, shoes, accessories, personal hygiene, baby items, small

houseware, cleaning supplies, and paper products, all for free! Families sign up online for a 30-

minute appointment. They have a personal shopper available, a Marcy Volunteer, who helps

make sure they get the items they need. Families can sign up once every 30 days.

Marcy’s Kids helps ensure that no child goes without Christmas, Easter, or birthday

celebrations. We provide over 225 Easter baskets that include personal hygiene, an

educational item, socks, a stuffed animal, and an Easter treat!

At Christmas, we are able to provide presents for over 300 children. Each child gets 4 gifts. A

‘want”, a “need” pajamas, and a special gift from the list they provide. Each child also gets a

stocking full of age-appropriate, personal hygiene and Christmas candy!

Our Birthday Club includes 2 gifts, decorations, a birthday cake mix, and a card.

We also have Halloween costumes, prom, and homecoming dresses and suits for the guys, so

those special occasions don’t get missed!

Marcy’s Milestones celebrates birthdays for residents in 10 local nursing homes we currently

partner with. Each resident receives a mini-Bundt cake, a handmade, personalized birthday

card which is delivered on the 1st of each month from a Marcy Volunteer.

We can make a difference…one kind act at a time.
