From Elgin to Chicago Heights, 3,000 families received meals, gifts, backpacks, PPE and more at Uniting for the Holidays this year. To every donor, community partner, volunteer and sponsor who supported our regional events — Thank You! You provided holiday cheer at a time when our community needs it most. YOU made difference this holiday season!
While our Uniting for the Holidays events may have ended, the need continues. You can still make a gift to Uniting for the Holidays through December 31 and support our commitment to helping families across the region meet their most basic needs. Meeting our neighbors’ most basic needs, such as food security, is a key part of United Way’s approach to regional recovery and your generous support makes this possible. Thank you.
Many thanks to our community partners for your support in providing a brighter holiday for our neighbors across the region.
