Pledge to make a difference, together.
D.O.G.S 2717 is a 501(3)(c) non-profit, family oriented organization centered on Christ. What started as a small group mentoring a handful of children in CPS has since blossomed into a city-wide movement that focuses on the art of giving. We are known best for our annual event that started 10 years ago called the “D.O.G.S. Best Christmas Ever”. The event brings volunteers together from all around the city to sponsor gifts and necessities for underprivileged and at-risk youth. We strive to make their Christmas one that mirrors the true reason for the season. They're able to enjoy games, food and gifts provided by individual sponsors and corporations. The D.O.G.S.'s family members and kids are encouraged to participate so they can experience the joy of giving.
We are dedicated to bringing people together to uphold what God's love is truly about. We build lasting relationships with volunteers and their families. Any and everyone is welcome!
Our mission is to express our willingness to help those in need regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background. We desire to bring communities together and work as a whole to accomplish one common goal. The D.O.G.S. take pride in giving families and volunteers an opportunity to bond.
Our vision is to empower those that need support during unexpected setbacks and ongoing cycles of poverty.
