Support for Families

Donate to support families:

Community members wishing to support families in need are able to do so through the Indian Prairie Parents' Council (IPPC) Families Helping Families program or the IPEF Kid Essentials Program. Both programs provide direct support to families in need.

Families in need of support:

If you are a family in need of support, please reach out to your school social worker who can provide resources for you.

Below are several community resources:

Dial 211 or visit 211DuPage.gov

  • Locate food pantries and programs in your community.
  • 211 staff can help residents who need assistance paying rent or their energy bills. 
  • Find agencies providing other assistance such as clothes, food, and more.
