Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur's Journey

Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur's Journey with Kim Hannay, Executive Director & Founder of Digs With Dignity

Lindsay Miller & Annette Quick Season 1 Episode 14

This episode is a conversation with Kim Hannay, Founder and Executive Director of Digs With Dignity, a local Chicago nonprofit that collects furniture and home goods from the community and uses them to design and furnish homes for families exiting homelessness.

Digs with Dignity began in 2019 and have currently served 200 families. Prior to outfitting each family's home, Digs meets with the family to learn about their design tastes, as well as their must-haves and would-love-to-haves in their home. With that knowledge in hand, they create a home for the family that is personalized specifically to them. And having that comfortable, beautifully decorated, fully-equipped home makes all the difference in the world. 97% of the families Digs served remained housed! As a matter of fact, many have received promotions and achieved other personal goals that may not have been possible without the stability of their home.

Digs with Dignity is truly an extraordinary organization. Learn more about their mission in this podcast.

Reverie will be doing a Digs Day on Friday, October 18th.  OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $5000 to create a lovely, inviting and beautifully decorated home for a deserving family.  Will you join us in our fundraising efforts by making a donation to our fundraising page: https://www.mightycause.com/story/Jduaof?
