Let's Get Together
Join us at an upcoming DIGS event and help turn empty apartments into homes filled with comfort, dignity and hope. Every gathering is a chance to make a meaningful difference for Chicago families transitioning out of homelessness and housing instability.
Revolution Brewing
We’re raising a glass for a great cause!
Join DIGS’ Team on Friday, August 28, from 5-8 p.m. at Revolution Brewing’s Taproom for a fun, casual evening with friends, supporters and the DIGS community.
Throughout the day, 50% of all taproom beer sales will be donated to DIGS. Simply stopping by for a drink helps Chicago families transitioning out of homelessness turn empty apartments into thoughtfully furnished homes.
Bring your friends, grab a pint and help us make an impact. We hope to see you there!
Donation Dropoff Day!
We DO sweat the small stuff! It’s the little things – lamps, dishes, towels, artwork, coffee makers, home décor and kitchen essentials – that transform an empty apartment into a home.
That’s why we’re inviting our community to join us for our first-ever DIGS DONATION DROPOFF DAY on Saturday, September 12th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Donate your gently used home goods and rally your workplace, school, faith-based organization, neighborhood or friends to host a collection drive from NOW until the big dropoff day. Click below to learn more about becoming a Collection Captain and lead a drive!
Every donation helps a Chicago family turn an empty apartment into a place to call home.
Welcome Home Gala
Join us on Thursday, October 22 at for DIGS’ Annual Welcome Home Gala, a fun and inspiring evening celebrating the power of home.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to DIGS, it’s a chance to connect with our community, celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and help make even more homes whole in the year ahead.
Looking to get involved? Individuals and companies can support the Gala in a variety of ways, including sponsoring a table, donating premier auction items (vacation homes, sports boxes, dining experiences), underwriting food and beverages or exploring custom sponsorship opportunities. Every contribution helps create safe, comfortable and dignified homes for our Chicago neighbors.
Note: Individual tickets will go on sale in early October.
