Our History
Today, we continue the work that eight young women started in the summer of 1889 at a home in Joliet. They saw a need in their community and devised a plan to address that need. Here is their story — and our history.
Our Mission
The mission of Holly Club of Joliet is to charitably address the needs of the less fortunate within the local community, whether these needs be financial, physical, and/or emotional.
Our Fundraisers
Our primary fundraiser, a festive year-end event, dates to the late 19th century and has become a holiday tradition in Joliet. We also host a silent auction every spring to benefit women’s and children’s programs.
The holiday spirit year-round
With “holly” in our name, you might think Christmas is the only time of year that Holly Club of Joliet members are out and about serving in our community. But the dedicated women of Holly Club find ways, all year long, to provide help to local agencies and individuals in need.
Our organization was founded in 1889. It is the oldest service organization in Joliet, Illinois and one of the oldest volunteer service organizations in the United States.
From needs in the community that are obvious to those that are barely visible, we find gaps and fill them. Holly Club of Joliet is 100% volunteer run. All the money we raise stays in Will County.
