After the turn of the century, Larkin began raising funds by pedaling Wrigley's chewing gum during the Elgin National Road Races, with band concerts and through general community appeals. In the early '70s, the Larkin Women's Auxiliary sold S&H Green Stamps and cookbooks. Now, Larkin offers a variety of ways to give. Your donations will help Larkin to continue assisting children and adults in need and future generations.
Ways to Give:
- Monetary Donation (one-time, recurring, or memorial/tribute)
- In-Kind Donation (clothes, toys, games, furniture, and appliances)
- Assets (stocks, real estate)
- Planned Giving
