KEWN Gift Wrapping and Networking Holiday Brunch

Please join us for KEWN’s 18th Annual Gift Wrapping and Networking Holiday Brunch to benefit the mothers and children supported by (CAU). The mission of CAU is to provide services for people who are coping with both the short and long-term effects of any disabling condition and to support economically challenged families in improving health and wellness during pregnancy and birth.

Help make the holiday season brighter for moms and babies by attending brunch, bringing gifts, and wrapping presents. There is no charge to attend. We ask that you bring unwrapped gifts(s), as many as you would like, for babies and their mothers. A light brunch will be provided.

CAU has provided a list of the most needed items at MyRegistry and asks that you choose them for wrapping. The list includes items from Walmart, Amazon, and Target and is updated regularly. Please do not bring baby food or formula.

Can’t make it to the brunch? Not in Chicago?
You may also donate gifts through MyRegistry and have them shipped directly to CAU. Please be sure that if they are shipped, they arrive by December 12, 2025.

There are other ways to give this holiday season.

Due to their circumstances, many CAU families cannot afford to do anything to celebrate the holidays. If you would like to sponsor a family or purchase gifts for a specific family based on family member needs, please email Samantha Grant, Director of Family Case Management, at c2dyYW50IHwgY2F1ICEgb3Jn.
