"Have Dreams" Seeking Help From Evanston Community

Evanston organization that provides support services for autistic young people needs assistance this weekend to help clean up their facility after a damaging incident in August.

Have Dreams is an organization that provides a variety of support services for autistic children and youth in and around Evanston, and they are seeking help from the community this weekend. 

After a pipe burst in August at their location, the organization has been working hard to become operational again. In partnership with Volunteer Evanston, Northwestern University and Evanston Township High School, they are calling for an All-Hands-On-Deck Weekend of Service. 

Volunteers are being sought to help clean and reorganize furniture, in addition to catolging tools, games and educational materials for the children who are served.
