Holiday Outreach Program

DuPage County

This program matches parishes with low-income families who have already prepared a wish list based on their needs. This program also asks individual donors to make monetary or gift card donations that will be distributed to needy families to purchase food during the Christmas holiday. Donations of new and unwrapped winter outerwear, hats, gloves and scarves in children’s and adult sizes will also be distributed to the low-income families and homeless who seek our help during the winter months.

Each year the program meets the needs of over 200 families. To get involved or become a donor, contact Amy Lambert at 630-495-8008 x2110 or email alambert@cc-doj.org.
