Within weeks, five Northshore women founded Gratitude Generation. Executive Director & Founder, Nicki Sutherland proudly described their successful Signature Programs that instill gratitude in young children, teens and adults through education and service. They provide community-service opportunities in the Chicago area for children, families and organizations supporting their neighbors in need while building a new generation of service-minded leaders. A popular preschool program “Caring Kiddos” prompts 3 to 5 year olds to help fill in toiletry kits that are later distributed to food pantries. All volunteers have the opportunity to sign up to help in charitable programs of their choice.
