Holiday Food and Gift Basket has been spreading joy in Oak Park and River Forest since the 1970s. Every year, we provide grocery gift cards in November and holiday gifts in December to low-income individuals and families.

This year, we anticipate serving nearly 700 families totalling 1,900 individuals and, as always, the success of our program relies on your support.
