Presentation overview:
John Harold, a People’s Resource Center volunteer ambassador. Over 22,500 DuPage residents rely on PRC for help each year offering nutritious food and other basic necessities like clothes and rent assistance for neighbors in need. PRC also connects people with resources –education and tutoring, jobs, technology, art, a caring community – to create a future of hope and opportunity for all.
If you caught the presentation, it was impressive! The PRC is turning 50 years old and they provide a wonderful service to the community (see attachments or call them and let them show you in person... Better yet, sign up to volunteer.) ... See MoreSee Less
