DONATIONS WELCOME!

We are accepting donations of all kinds! Our home decor and winter/spring holiday decor could use a boost!

Our ReSale Shop is completely volunteer run and stocked with community donations. All monies raised stay at BCM and directly benefit our residents. The ReSale Shop also provides socialization and the opportunity to purchase quality items for very little cost. Another benefit for those living on a fixed income!
Located inside Barb City Manor at 680 Haish Blvd., the shop is open on Wednesdays from 9-12 and Sundays from 1-4.

Keep sharing Friends! Its working!!!!Thank you Daily Chronicle - Shaw Local for sharing our story!!

The building will be re-lit for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and also New Year's Eve and New Years Night. As of 1/2/25 we are back on the mission to make it glow again. Every $10,500.00 we raise on our way to $250,000.00 will spark another strand of lights.

Helping Barb City Manor get lit is easy! Getting the word out about our mission is our biggest hurdle. You can help by sharing our FaceBook & Instagram posts with your friends and families on social media. Large groups donating small amounts can make miracles happen! If 12% of DeKalb County donated $20.00 we'll hit our goal!

Make a senior safe this year by visiting barbcitymanor.org or stopping by at 680 Haish Blvd., DeKalb, IL.

Let's Light Up The Manor together!
