Moms of McHenry County and KidStuff Resale is proud to be partnered with several local charities. We support them through volunteering, supporting their events, and encouraging their mission.

During the KidStuff Resale, sellers have the option to mark their items for donation. Several of our charity partners are recipients of these items, keeping their donation local and further helping our community. The admission fee is 100% donated to a local food pantry.

MoMCo supports these charities by: volunteer opportunities, organizing items, and monetary donations.

We have 4 Free Stores in donated spaces on the northwest and northside of Chicago, and in Deerfield.  Recently arrived refugees shop for free, by appointment.
RCC was established in 2017, originally focused on serving the needs of Special Immigrant Visa refugees.  Today we have around 15 full-time volunteers and many dozen part-time volunteers.  Our Facebook group currently has 6,700 members, all of whom are in the Chicago area.
