Unrestricted Donation

Your gift will be applied to the program most in need at that time.

Project Santa

Your donation will help to purchase gifts, coats and clothing for children in need.

Host a collection drive

Good, quality coats are expensive, and the costs of toys are rising every day. We greatly appreciate community members who host coat, book, and toy drives for our Project Santa program, which gives these items to children of lower-income families in need during the holiday season.

Please get approval from us prior to your collection drive so we can discuss our greatest needs. You are welcome to contact our agency at 309-837-2997 or email wirc@wirpc.org to get started.

Legacy Giving

Giving in memory of a dear loved one is a wonderful, thoughtful way to honor that person’s legacy by helping others. You may direct the gift to whichever cause you believe would be best in line with their wishes. This moment can be a time of celebration of your loved one’s memory, and a path of hope for people in need.

Planned giving is also a caring way for you to help others through WIRC for many years into the future.

If you would like to schedule an in-person meeting to discuss Legacy Giving, contact Roger Pavey by calling 309-837-2997 or emailing wirc@wirpc.org.
