The DuPage Convalescent Center is hosting its annual gift drive for its residents, and participants are needed to spread the holiday spirit.

Gifts usually average a $50 value, according to a DuPage Convalescent Center news release, and they often include requests for things like personal care products, clothes and gift cards.

Donations should be brought to the center’s reception desk between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily by Dec. 15 so they can be collected and organized for the Annual Family Holiday party, according to the news release.

Donations can also be made at dupageco.org/dpccfoundation or through checks made payable to the DuPage Convalescent Center Foundation and mailed to 400 N. County Farm Rd., Wheaton, Illinois 60187.
