"The Glen Ellyn Infant Welfare Society continues to make a difference in our community by touching the lives of our local families in need"
Our History
Established in 1926 by five women who saw children lacking basic nutrition, the ladies of Glen Ellyn Infant Welfare made and sold aprons to buy milk for these families.
Early in our history, we paid half the salary for the first village nurse, established Glen Ellyn’s first preschool examination program, and gifted to Memorial Hospital of DuPage County its first isolette for premature babies.
Recent efforts include funding a children’s defibrillator for Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Company, providing ESL software to schools and giving scholarships for Glen Ellyn students to attend the College of DuPage.
We not only donate our funds, but volunteer our time to the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry, People’s Resource Center and Family Shelter Services as well as other agencies we support
