Representative Hirschauer is a member of the Illinois House of Representatives Veterans’ Affairs Committee. She is inviting local veterans to share their thoughts on legislation and how it affects military veterans, their families, and communities, over breakfast at the VFW in West Chicago.
If you are unable to attend, but would care to share ways that legislation could help veterans, please contact our office.
At our last breakfast, Representative Stephanie Kifowit, USMC Veteran 90-94 and chair of the Illinois House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, attended and spoke as a special guest. We hope she will be able to join us again! We also heard about the Road Home Program at Rush which offers valuable services for veterans in the space of mental health.

The Illinois Treasurer is holding more than 3.5 billion dollars in unclaimed funds for Illinoisans. The State holds these lost funds until they are claimed by either the original owner or their heirs.
On October 13 my office is bringing iCash to YOU with a mobile iCash event at St.Charles Public Library. From 2-5pm IL Treasurer staff will be present to help you search to see if you have any unclaimed property in holding by the state and, if so, to offer guidance with your claim paperwork.

1 IN 3 CHILDREN IN CHICAGO ARE LIVING IN POVERTY
DIAPERS ARE NOT COVERED BY GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
September 27, 2021 @ 8:00 am – October 1, 2021 @ 5:00 pm CDT
Representative Hirschauer is proud to partner with Share Our Spare to host a diaper
drive from September 27 – October 3, 2021 to help end diaper need in Chicago. The
facts about diaper need in Chicago are sobering:
Share Our Spare is a Chicago-based non-profit with a mission to ensure every child in
Chicago has access to the basic essentials necessary to thrive in the first five years of
life. Share Our Spare collects new and gently used items for children ages newborn to
5 and distributes them to families living in poverty through a network of 100 social
service agencies. During Share Our Spare’s first 8 years they distributed 1 million
diapers but because of the COVID-19 crisis they distributed 1 million diapers in 2020
alone. These diapers went to more than 40,000 children in need. This year Share Our
Spare is on track to distribute more than 1.5 MILLION diapers, helping parents focus
on caregiving instead of worrying about securing the basics for their children.
We invite you to help Share Our Spare collect 250,000 diapers for their National
Diaper Need Awareness Week drive by:
