The Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County was founded in 1967 as an auxillary to the McHenry Mental Health Center. MHRL broadened its scope in 1967 to give financial aid to mental health-related agencies in McHenry County. The all-volunteer League Board of Directors (along with a multitude of agency volunteers) raise funds to help McHenry County mental health agencies supply the services needed in areas such as crisis hotlines, youth programs, abuse, addictions and developmental disabilities.

In 1969, the first Fair Diddley® Craft Show netted $500 for the agencies. Through it's annual Fall Diddley® show in 2025, the MHRL plans to award $126,000 from the proceeds of its Fall Diddley® show to the thirteen McHenry County agencies the League supports. Since it's inception in 1967, MHRL has awarded over $7 MILLION to our McHenry County agencies providing mental health services.
