December 2021 — "For 2 years in a row, Your Children's Bookshelf (YCB) has joined Kids In Need of McHenry County's Holiday Party which serves 120 children in need with holiday cheer. The first year, YCB joined our efforts at the height of the pandemic. Our party turned into an outdoor drive through event YCB's team stood outside in the cold and provided a handpicked bag of books for each child. The 2nd year, our friends at YCB set-up a table at the party and not only provided a bag of books to each of the 120 children registered, they took time to read to the children who came to their table. In addition, KIN recently opened up a visitation home for children and their parents in Crystal Lake. YCB assisted KIN with the task of providing an engaging, fun space for the kids by providing crates of books for each of the rooms. The children are allowed to take any book they like from the home and YCB has committed to replenishing the home's supply when needed." — Michelle Prickett, Executive Director

November 2021 — Baird-Warner is one of the top-notch residential real estate services organization in the Chicago area. We were very fortunate when one of their top sellers out of their Lincoln Park location reached out and asked if they could hold a fundraiser for us. It was an exciting night (Bingo night) and the efforts of many of the agents helped raise $3,160 for Your Children's Bookshelf.
