As we reflect on our 2025 Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

Because of this incredible community, 179 families and seniors - more than 625 individuals - experienced the warmth, dignity, and joy of the holiday season. What begins as an empty gym is transformed into generosity, compassion, and Christmas mornings made brighter for so many.

One family shared with us:
“Thank you for having that big heart… my daughter is the happiest… we value very much everything you sent us.”

We invite you to read our full thank-you message and see photos from Super Thursday through Delivery Day here:

From all of us at the Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club, thank you for being part of this community and helping make the magic happen.

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.
This weekend, because of the extraordinary generosity of our community, 179 local families and seniors felt the joy, comfort, and love of the holiday season. That impact is profound and it belongs to every person, family, business, school, and organization who chose to give.

To everyone who donated gifts, funds, toys, or essential items…
To those who hosted or supported toy and toiletry drives…
To the volunteers who wrapped, sorted, packed, and delivered…
Thank you!

Your generosity did far more than fill baskets. It brought warmth, dignity, and a truly happy holiday season to families and seniors, reminding them that they are supported by a caring and compassionate community.

We look forward to sharing stories, photos, and a more formal thank-you in the new year. For now, please know how grateful we are for each and every contribution that made last weekend possible.

If you have photos or stories you’d like to share, we’d love to include them:
