Support Us

Get Involved!!

You have gifts, callings, resources, and connections that we need, but don't have. Get involved today and help us help women break the cycle of addiction.

Our vision is to see diverse women come into a safe and sober environment where they can become whole and set free from years of bondage. Dwelling at the well will help each woman develop a treatment plan to fit their individual needs in order to start the recovery process, provide support to others, and become productive in society. Our mission is to assist women whose lives have been impacted by alcohol and substance abuse, mental health issues, and homelessness. Dwelling at the Well staff will partner with other supportive services, agencies, and treatment centers to provide the training, tools, and workshops that are needed to help maintain sobriety and prevent relapses.

 

Make a Contribution

 

Dwelling At the Well is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. We appreciate every dollar invested in this small, grassroots  organization. Your tax deductible donations ensure that we continue to make a difference in the lives of women with substance abuse disorders. We know everyone wants to help, but not everyone has the time, the resources, or the ability to physically do the work that we are CALLED to do. By supporting us financially, you give us the permission to be YOUR hands, YOUR legs, and YOUR heart reaching out to women in need. Whatever you sow into DATW, know that you become a partner with us in reaching hurting women and you reap the rewards (along with us) of seeing women's lives healed, changed, and restored.

 

Donate Essential Items

 

Dwelling At the Well has direct, one-on-one contact with women struggling with abuse. We provide essentials to them as our teams hit the streets doing outreach. When we encounter women with alcohol and other substance abuse disorders - we minister to them. We encourage them and let them know we care about what they're going through and what's happening to them. We offer our services to them - counseling, mentorship, prayer, and treatment referrals. We don't walk away leaving these women empty handed - we leave them with a "goody bag" that contains essentials they often ignore or can't afford (water, snacks, masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, toiletries, etc). We even offer clothing and shoes when available - all because of our generous donors. And if you have something to donate - we'll gladly accept it! In the past we've accepted cleaned/laundered items, but due to Covid-19 we are only accepting new, unused/never worn blankets, clothing, and shoes (to protect our women), new toiletries (soap, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, menstrual products, travel shampoo and conditioner, etc), furniture (in good condition), appliances (in good, working condition), bedding (new and unused), and more. We also provide 3-day ($15) and 7-day ($20)  bus passes to the women, as needed, and would love to have those donated, too. Please call us if you have a large quantity you wish to donate.

Volunteer

 

Dwelling At the Well is a hands-on, small, local non-profit serving women on the west side of Chicago in the following neighborhoods (South Lawndale, North Lawndale, Humboldt Park, East Garfield Park, and West Garfield Park). We're small, but mighty. And we need volunteers - especially those with a heart to serve the women we serve. We need your help! Please, join our outreach teams and minister to women on the streets, we need you to make calls and get donations (food, water, clothes, furniture, services), we need you to staff fundraisers and community events (greet participants, serve food, help set up and clean up, etc), we need you to help get the word out about us (manage our Facebook page, website, create marketing fliers and posters, share our events on social media platforms, etc). Whatever area you have experience or expertise in - we need you! We can change lives - but we can't do it alone. We need YOU.

 

Sponsor an Event

 

Dwelling At the Well creates events, throughout the year, that are designed to increase awareness, build engagement, and create community allies for women with alcohol and other substance abuse disorders. We are always looking for corporate and community partners to help with project creation and support. Media groups, businesses, churches, schools, government agencies, civic groups, block clubs, sororities or fraternities - give us a call if you're willing to donate space, services, and supplies for one of our community events. And if we contact you - please be open to partnering with us. Substance abuse disorders don't exist in a vacuum - they have tentacles that reach into every area of a woman's life and every area of society. Providing the network, the connections, the resources, tools, and opportunities for lasting recovery from substance abuse disorders is something we ALL can get involved in.

TOGETHER (To Get Her) we can make it!
