Your Church and Sunny Ridge
Do those at your church know how your life has been touched through adoption? Have other church members asked you "What agency did you use?" Sunny Ridge is available to present our adoption programs and information at your place of worship. Change the life of a child and help bring the gift and joy of adoption to those around you! Speak to your pastor about Sunny Ridge making a presentation on adoption at your location. If you can help spread the word about Sunny Ridge and adoption through your church, please let us know.

Volunteer at Chinese New Year
Help children celebrate Chinese New Year! Our Chinese New Year event takes place Sunday, February 10th from 12 Noon to 4:00pm, at the College of Du Page in Glen Ellyn. The event is designed for families with young children—with many games, crafts, and entertainment for kids. So many of our China adoptive families have made the celebration an annual tradition. Teens and adult volunteers are needed to assist with working a game or craft table! Help with decorations or set up on the day of the event! Come join us! If you, your group, or the teen in your life would like to help,  use this form to indicate your interest

Has Your Employer Given A Matching Gift to Sunny Ridge?
More and more Sunny Ridge supporters are increasing the level of their contribution through an employer's Matching Gift program! Sunny Ridge can greatly benefit when donors provide "matching gifts" by completing a form from their human resource department. When they do, their gift is doubled (or more) by their employer! See our growing list of companies that match gifts, or make a note to check with your employer and see if they offer a matching gift program. Take this easy step to help Sunny Ridge and double the impact of your next donation!
