Casa De Los Angeles - Yo Soy Un Angel

OUR NEW CENTER

All of us at Casa de los Angeles are thrilled to be working on the construction of our second center located in Colonia Santa Julia. We have 50 families on our waiting list whom we will be able to serve when this new center, Casa de los Angeles - Teresita, is completed. The new center will include nurseries, preschool classes, kitchen, office, after-school space, multipurpose room and a clinic. We are happy to share with you the design of the new center and the cost breakdown of furnishings and rooms. If you would like to donate to a particular area of the new building, or designate a particular room in honor of someone you love, you can send your check to: Casa de los Angeles, 14719 W. 163rd Street, Homer Glen, Illinois 60491. Include a note designating your donation. Together this new center will become a reality!
