The club sponsors 4-7 families in financial need during the holidays.
We provide the ingredients for a Thanksgiving dinner, gifts at Christmas
and Easter Baskets and pantry items at Easter. Members generously
sign up to bring in the items of their choice. The items are
collected and delivered by the members of the Home Life Department
directly to the families.
Pocket change is collected at every meeting to support Heifer
International, an organization that teaches agriculture and livestock
development to women in poor countries. These women are then able
to provide financial support to their families. This year we
are donating trees, and in the past two years we have donated pigs and
chicks.
Used children's books are being collected and donated to the Lisle Township Food
Pantry. The books are available for any customer of the food
pantry to take home.
