Our mission is to help children from low-income families acquire the necessary skills in academics and social interaction to move successfully through grades K-12 and into adulthood. We do this by providing after school and summer programs which emphasize literacy and community involvement and use the talents of teachers, volunteer tutors, adult caregivers and a variety of local support services.

GECRC Wish List

The Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center is active in a number of ways through providing both literacy and life skills programs to the students we serve throughout the year, especially students who are early English Language Learners and learn best through interactive and engaging lessons and educational activities.

Every day, generous donors & volunteers step forward to help us in our mission. They donate money, gifts, and time. We are truly greatful by the response we receive from those who seek to help us 'do the most good' in our community every day.

While there is incredible generosity offered to the Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center every day, there are always additional needs that will help us better serve the individuals and groups that seek our support and help. In this section of the web site, we present an always-changing Wish List of items that we hope generous contributors will feel inspired to donate or contribute towards. If you're not able to donate, we appreciate your support and time for the fulfillment of our needs.


Following is a list of items some of you may just have tucked and stored away that you may just want to give! Please stay tuned each week as the list may change! To make any material or financial contributions to help us with Our Wish List, please contact Jessica Rozga at 630/899-9919. We greatly appreciate your support!
