Help Us Get Students Ready to Go Back to School
From now through Friday, July 28, drop off new school supplies at People’s Resource Center in Wheaton or Westmont.
You can order from our wish lists at Amazon, Target and Walmart, or visit the stores and do some shopping for items from the list below. With your support, we can fill book bags with school supplies for 1,200 students.
You can get some of the best prices on items at the Walmart or Target registries and have them sent directly to PRC! Amazon is also a convenient option for online shopping. Please add a delivery note “deliver only Monday-Friday 8am to 3pm” to ensure we receive your donation.
Monetary donations also help and can be made here.
If you want to host a drive at your business, church, etc., download this flier, fill-in your information and send/post/share!
Also, please let us know if you’re doing a drive so we can keep track of what donations are coming in and when. Email is at backtoschool@peoplesrc.org or call 630-682-5402, ext. 214
