Faith and Hope Month
Let your faith guide you | Create hope for others
About the observance
Compassion and generosity are foundational beliefs of most major religions. Organ & Tissue donation is a sacred expression of these values. We join our communities of faith each November to explore faith-based perspectives and teachings that call on us to give to others through organ, eye & tissue donation. Together with faith leaders, hospitals, and community partners in Illinois and northwest Indiana, we invite you to learn the facts, register as a donor, and share your decision with family.
Know the facts
Every major religion in the United States supports organ donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity.
