COMMUNITY & IMPACT

Learn, connect, and support the makers directly.

The Sanctuary invites you to an evening at Renew, a Glen Ellyn nonprofit walking alongside women who have found refuge from dangerous situations as they rebuild their lives across Chicagoland. Through English and sewing classes, and by hiring its own graduates, Renew turns new skills into sustaining work. Come learn, connect, and support the makers directly, and maybe leave with something beautiful, handmade by the women whose stories you’ll hear.
