Start a partnership →Dorthy volunteers at the shelter where she once lived. She makes calls, follows up, and personally connects people to the resources they need. She's not asking for anything she doesn't already give herself.
The South Side has always taken care of its own. That's what D&D Foundation is built on. Come be part of it.
These are the organizations that make D&D Foundation's resources possible. Want to be added to this list? Reach out.
You don't have to be in need yourself to use D&D Foundation. If you know someone on the South Side who could benefit from our resources — a neighbor, a family member, someone from church — send them our way. It's that simple.
Reach out to Dorthy. She'll find the right place for you — whether that's volunteering, referring, or building a partnership.
