Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network is proud to serve as the federally
designated not-for-profit agency that coordinates organ and tissue donation
and supports families of donors in the northern three-quarters of Illinois and
northwest Indiana.
An annual, interfaith celebration of the gifts of hope provided through organ and tissue donation
During the weekend of Nov. 14-16, Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network will join clergy and healthcare professionals across the country to celebrate National Donor Sabbath—an annual observance to raise awareness, through religious communities, of the urgent need for organ and tissue donation.
We ask you to take part in this observance by encouraging members of your congregation to make faith-based decisions to become organ and tissue donors.
With a national list of nearly 100,000 men, women and children waiting for the gift of life—and thousands more waiting for life-enhancing tissue or cornea transplants—we hope you will join us in spreading the message that by giving of ourselves through organ and tissue donation, we give the gift of life.
