Holiday Help
THANKSGIVINGTo make this Thanksgiving a memorable one for thousands of families, we need donations from you! Every $15 you donate will provide a family with a special choice of classic Thanksgiving "trimmings", their choice of familiar ethnic foods and a grocery gift card worth enough to buy a turkey! If you’d like to make a gift to help us provide Thanksgiving dinners for them all, click here. You can also send a check payable to the People's Resource Center with "Thanksgiving" written on the memo line to 201 S. Naperville Road, Wheaton, IL 60187.
