Serving with Compassion, Dressing with Dignity, Feeding with Love

    The Fowler Bonan Foundation is a proudly rooted 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Illinois, dedicated to uplifting lives across Southern Illinois. Through our flagship programs, Clothes for SI Kids and Heaven’s Kitchen, we bring warmth, hope, and practical support to those who need it most.

Clothes for SI Kids ensures that local school-age children from low-income families have access to clothing and shoes, helping them walk into school with confidence and pride. Heaven’s Kitchen, located in Harrisburg, Illinois, gives each household a weekly bag of groceries with a side of kindness to individuals and families facing food insecurity.

     Beyond our core programs, we also offer limited support to families navigating crises, such as fires and illness. We are continually seeking new ways to support and uplift the youth in our region.

In 2024 alone, thanks to the generous support of our donors and volunteers:

• 900+ children and individuals received full or partial wardrobes

• 16,000+ meals were served with a smile

​

Together, we're building a stronger, more compassionate Southern Illinois: one meal, one outfit, and one family at a time.
