We are gearing up for Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday, traditionally held the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. For over 60 years, with your support, Glenkirk has strived to help make our community a better place – a place where all of us are respected, accepted and valued. 

Thank you for your generosity in these challenging times.

We are very sorry to announce that we will be cancelling our in-person Benefit Bash event which would have been held in October at Ravinia Green Country Club.

Kurt moved from his family home to join the Glenkirk family in the fall of 2018. He now lives at our beautiful new Arrowhead residence with five housemates. With support from his family and his Glenkirk team, Kurt is able to imagine his best life, explore the opportunities around him, and ultimately connect with his community. 

For Glenkirk, part of the silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic has been having financial stability in order to weather this storm, thanks to the contributions of dedicated families, board members and donors over many years.  Celebrating such champions, the Heritage Society Newsletter is excited to highlight the generosity and compassion of two of our most dedicated donors, David and Linda Wesselink.  Together, they exemplify the incredible impact our donors have on the lives of those we serve at Glenkirk.

Through its Community Ties Giving Program, Union Pacific Railroad has awarded COVID-19 Relief Grants to Glenkirk and Search, Inc., two nonprofit organizations addressing the critical needs people with developmental disabilities are facing during the pandemic.
