Big Elves — Spreading Joy Through Giving
Our Mission
Big Elves is a volunteer‑driven charity initiative founded two long time friends with a big heart Julie & Elise.
Big Elves collects donations mostly during the holidays to bring comfort and hope to those who need it most — including low income adults, low income facilities, nursing homes, children's hospitals, and foster care centers across Chicago. We prioritize non‑monetary donations and maintain wishlists so we can deliver specific supplies directly to people in need.
Community Impact
What makes Big Elves truly special is the way it unites people through kindness. Whether it's a customer dropping off a donation, an artist contributing a handmade piece, or a volunteer organizing a drive, every act of generosity ripples outward.
How You Can Help?
You can support Big Elves by donating new or gently used items, volunteering your time, or spreading the word about our mission. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels valued and cared for.
