Bring Joy to a Local Family: Sponsor a Family This Holiday Season

The Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club invites you to make a meaningful impact by joining our Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program. For over 70 years, this program has been a beacon of hope for our community, helping nearly 150 families and seniors—over 650 individuals—each year.
How You Can Help:
🎁 Sponsor a Family – Provide a local family with essentials like food, toiletries, clothing, and gifts, including toys for their children. Every family deserves holiday joy, and your sponsorship makes it possible!
🎄 Partial Sponsorships Welcome – Don’t want to go it alone? Team up with friends, neighbors, or colleagues to co-sponsor.
What Your Sponsorship Means:
Your generosity ensures that each child receives at least one new toy and families receive essential items they need. Together, we partner with local schools (D41 and D89), Glenbard West’s student council, and Glen House Food Pantry to make this program a success.
Important Dates:
📅 Now – Contact Us to Sponsor! Email GEJuniorsXmasBaskets@gmail.com to sign up as a sponsor.
📅 Super Thursday, Dec. 12th, 8 AM–8 PM – Help prepare items for delivery at Parkview Community Church (764 St. Charles Rd., Glen Ellyn).
📅 Delivery Day, Dec. 14th, 8 AM – Bring joy to families by delivering baskets, or let our volunteers handle it for you.
Why Sponsor?
Sponsoring a family means more than giving gifts—it’s about sharing hope and showing compassion. Your kindness directly touches the lives of local families and reminds them they’re part of a supportive community.
Be a Secret Santa this year and help brighten the holidays for those in need. Email GEJuniorsXmasBaskets@gmail.com today to get started!
Together, we can make this season magical for every family in our program … 687 people total!
