The Joy of Gift-giving
The mission of Project Santa is to provide gifts and clothing to children of eligible households in Hancock, Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties in western Illinois.
Former WIRC & CAA Executive Director Suzan Nash and former Clothing Center Manager Teresa Cadle created the program in 1983. Project Santa aims to give children a sense of security and grow their giving spirit. While 'Santa' is in the name, it is not a Christmas program; people of all beliefs are welcome to participate in the joy of giving gifts to their children
Your monetary donation will be used to help purchase gifts for the
children and to support the program. On average, we spend $125 on toys, gifts and clothing for each
child enrolled.
We appreciate you - thank you!
