Annual Report FY 2013 - People`s Resource Center

Executive Director’s Message
Dear friends of People’s Resource Center,
Thank You!
Because you are generous, our hungry neighbors have food to eat.
Because you are caring, neighbors who cannot afford to purchase new clothes have items to wear to work and school.
Because you are kind, neighbors who are close to homelessness have been able to
keep a roof over their heads.
Because you are compassionate, there are neighborhood art programs across the
county where low-income children and adults from all walks of life choose to say,
“I’ll try,” rather than “I can’t.”
Because you are thoughtful, our newer neighbors are learning English, becoming
U.S. citizens, and earning G.E.D.s, while our volunteer tutors are honing crosscultural communication skills and becoming citizens of the world.
Because you are dedicated, our unemployed neighbors are successfully finding jobs with the guidance of hard-working
volunteer job search coaches.
Because you are resourceful, we’ve made real progress toward bridging the “digital divide” and our low-income
neighbors are better connected to the tools a 21st century worker needs.
None of the good work highlighted in the pages of this report is possible without the generosity of neighbors like you.
The majority of our support—financial, in-kind, and volunteer—comes from caring people right here in DuPage County.
Thank you—your help makes such a difference for neighbors in need!
Sincerely,
Kimberley C. Perez
Executive Director
Thank You, Volunteers!
Over 1,700 volunteers provided 98,000 hours of service.
Our Volunteer Philosophy–
PRC volunteers are a valued and essential part of
our work. Volunteers are:
Our Foundation
PRC volunteers are the front line in every program we offer.
Our Ambassadors
Volunteers are our grassroots outreach network and our partners
in building the community and sharing the PRC story.
Our Advocates for Those in Need
Volunteers are advocates for those who deserve a stronger voice,
spreading awareness of the struggles of our neighbors in need.
Our Solution
We believe that mobilizing local resources is a critical piece of
the challenge of solving poverty in America.
Partner Classroom Sites
People’s Resource Center works with community partners across DuPage County to offer our Empowerment
programs in convenient locations. Thank you to these community partners who provide classroom space
and volunteers to make our programs more accessible to neighbors all across the county.

Food Pantry
People’s Resource Center provided 36,233
grocery carts filled with food for hungry
neighbors. Each visitor to PRC’s food pantry gets to
choose the foods from our shelves which are best for
his or her family—we call this “client choice”. We offer
fresh produce, frozen meats, dairy, bread, canned and
dry goods, as well as items like diapers and toilet paper.
More than 3,000 households are served by PRC’s 2 food
pantries in Wheaton and Westmont every month. Thanks
to generous community donations and our partnership
with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, we can fill a grocery
cart with a week’s worth of nutritious food for a family
for just $30—more than quadrupling the value of your
donation!
In addition to providing healthy foods to hungry
families, we offer nutrition education. Monthly recipe
demonstrations help our clients discover delicious ideas
for cooking on a budget and using ingredients available in
the food pantry.
PRC’s food rescue program works with local grocery
stores, restaurants and other retailers to rescue food that
cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. PRC
staff and volunteers conduct more than 100 pick-ups of
these donations each week! With 12 food pantry sessions
each week, PRC can quickly get this food into the hands of
folks who need it.
Community food drives and collections are a major source
of food to stock our shelves. From weekly offerings of
food from local congregations, to kids’ birthday parties,
to community-wide events like the Wheaton Chamber
of Commerce’s annual Stuff-A-Truck food drive, these
generous donations make a big difference for hungry
families and we are so thankful for this help.
“
Words of thanks from a Glen
Ellyn mom who visited the food
pantry for the first time:
We made it in on Saturday. I was blown away
by everyone with whom I came into contact. I
don’t know if I’ve ever experienced the extent
of acceptance, helpfulness and kindness
than I did on Saturday. We were welcomed
and several people went above and beyond
anything I would have ever expected. It truly
made my day and I am very appreciative.
Thanks so much to you and your staff.
“
Why I love PRC :
Stan Dessel,
Food Pantry Volunteer
I moved to Wheaton 5 years
ago with my wife, who
unfortunately passed away
soon after we arrived here.
Living across the street from
PRC, it seemed like a good
place to fill the void in my
life. I started working about
4 hours on Wednesdays,
and soon was spending 15-20 hours a week here.
Loved every minute! There is a great feeling of pride
when clients as well as donors make you feel it’s all
worthwhile.
Why I love PRC :
Kay Pollock, Food Pantry Volunteer
The volunteers are so nice. I have met a great
bunch of people. The clients are very appreciative.
I always think—there but for the grace of God go I!
You never know.
2013 Program Updates
Clothes Closet
People’s Resource Center provided 1,764
households with gently used clothing. Free
clothing helps low-income families save money to put
toward other basic needs: food, shelter, and health
care. All of the clothing we distribute is donated by the
local community. Community clothing donation drives
supplied much-needed items including prom dresses,
gym shoes, business suits, winter coats, handmade
hats and mittens, Halloween costumes, and packages
of brand-new underwear. Having appropriate clothing
is important to everyone, and that means our clothes
closet is a busy place!
My Favorite PRC Memory
C. J. Honeywell, Client Intake Volunteer
One of my favorite memories is of checking in
a woman who seemed very tentative about
registering as a client. I told her about intake as the
next step and gave her some information about
the PRC services that are available. As I handed
her the client registration card, I could see tears
in her eyes, and she thanked me for treating
her kindly and not as a “lesser” person. She had
not had the same experience at other places.
Because of that experience, I try to greet each
client with a smile and keep in mind the phrase
in the PRC mission statement that reminds us to
“promote dignity.”
Ben’s Story
“Ben” first connected with People’s Resource
Center when he learned that food pantry
volunteers deliver food to a small number of
home-bound clients. Ben had become disabled
due to a leg injury, and he was dealing with
serious complications and the news that he
would likely have to have his leg amputated.
He wanted nothing more but to return to
work, but he was having to face a new reality
that his disability would likely be a significant
barrier to employment. In addition to making
arrangements for Ben to receive food deliveries,
PRC’s social services staff worked with Ben to
help him access benefits and resources and
develop a plan for becoming self-sufficient.
Ben’s plan includes sharing an apartment with
a roommate, closely following a budget so that
he can always pay his share of the rent using
disability income, and adhering to a weight-loss
plan which will help him live a healthier, happier
life. Ben is thankful for the support he received
from PRC at such a difficult point in his life.
Social Services and
Homelessness Prevention
People’s Resource Center assisted 1,044
families in crisis with a wide range of social
services. For individuals and families living paycheckto-paycheck, just one unexpected event—a health
problem, a car breaking down, getting laid off—can easily
“snowball” into a situation as serious as homelessness.
We helped families apply for SNAP (food stamps)
benefits, find affordable health care, access veteran’s
benefits, learn household budgeting skills, and much
more. We provided emergency financial assistance for
rent, utilities, transportation and other urgent needs.
Help from People’s Resource Center gives families the
chance to get back on their feet.

Computer Literacy,
Training and Access
People’s Resource Center has distributed
more than 10,000 computers since the
computer refurbishing program began.
Computers are a necessity today for work, school, and
so many aspects of daily life. We work to bridge the
“digital divide” by providing basic computer training and
free refurbished computers to low-income people. We
also offer computer maintenance and repair services to
PRC clients—PRC’s “Dr. Fix-It” volunteers provided 1,562
computer repair services for clients.
Volunteer
instructors
teach computer classes
ranging from Intro to
Computers to higherlevel courses in programs
like Microsoft Word,
Excel and PowerPoint.
Classes are taught in our
Community Technology
Center classrooms in our
Wheaton and Westmont
facilities, and also in
classrooms hosted at
neighborhood partner
sites around the county.
“
495 adult learners worked one-on-one with
tutors or enrolled in English classes and
conversation groups. 17 people passed citizenship
exams and five earned their GEDs. Testing showed that
2 out of 3 ESL students made measurable gains in their
language abilities within the year. In addition to these
measurable outcomes, students and volunteers alike
benefit from the opportunity to meet new friends who
hail from more than 100 countries!
Why I love PRC :
Horacio Chavez,
Volunteer Instructor
Words of thanks from a
computer student:
Wow! A free computer for our home! We are
very grateful. My daughter will be able to use it
for school and this will help her tremendously
at College Of DuPage. I continue to benefit in
so many important ways from the fabulous
services from PRC. I thoroughly enjoyed the
computer class I took earlier this year. Thanks
to all who made this possible.

“
The thing I love most about
PRC is that the clients who
sign up for the classes remind
me a lot of my parents when
I was growing up. They are
hardworking, trying to juggle
work, kids, home and the
challenges of being in a foreign county. When my
brothers and I were young my parents couldn’t help
us much with school work because they didn’t know
English, at all. As we grew up, we became better at
English and my parents continued to struggle. Now
with technological advances such as computers and
the internet, it seems parents have an extra burden on
their shoulders. And I just love being able to shorten
the gap between them, their kids and keeping up with
the times.

Job Assistance
246 unemployed neighbors received guidance
from PRC’s volunteer job mentors, resulting
in 136 job placements. Many people who were
laid off during the 2008 recession are still struggling
to find stable employment that pays enough to make
ends meet. For those who face significant barriers to
employment—such as a lack of recent job experience,
Meet a Neighbor:

Diane
Virella
was
unemployed and in need of
food when she visited PRC’s
food pantry. While there,
she spied a flyer describing
Microsoft Office Specialist
Certification classes. These
classes, which are part of the
Job Assistance Program, offer
certification in Microsoft Office
programs. Using the skills she
learned at PRC, Diane found a job! Here’s her story:
The PRC Microsoft Certification and Job Assistance
programs helped me secure a job in Project
Management. The Certification classes increased my
skill level in Microsoft Office and made a difference
to employers viewing my resume. I began work and
have received a competitive salary and full benefit
package.
Judy Wolthausen, my career coach, assisted me with
re-creating my resume. Judy was professional and
really convinced me to take a chance by changing
it. I am confident that my new resume got me the
interview. Judy was also involved in the job club,
which offered interview workshops. Those helped
me prepare for the interview, which had always been
lack of a high school diploma, or limited English language
skills—landing a good job can feel like an impossible
goal. Through PRC’s Job Assistance program, job seekers
attend skill-building workshops on topics such as resume
writing and interviewing, participate in monthly “Lunch ‘n
Learn” networking sessions, and receive regular updates
on open positions and one-on-one mentoring from
trained volunteer job coaches. Ongoing encouragement
from a job coach can make all the difference!
a struggle for me. Judy is an amazing professional
and I have made a life friend.
Mary Blair, my Microsoft Certification teacher, is
an amazing instructor and kept the class on track.
She is professional and always prepared for class.
She freely shared her knowledge in an “easy to
understand” manner. I was well prepared for
my tests and was always confident. Having the
certification program on my resume was also
impressive to my new employer. I came into the
class having worked in all Microsoft programs,
and am leaving with a broader knowledge base
of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
At PRC, I was able to have a professional profile
picture taken for online social media networking. PRC also provided me with professional attire for
my interviews through Poised For Success, which
provides complementary interview and businessappropriate clothing to women in the job market.
I am scheduled to receive 3 additional professional
outfits through Poised for Success now that I have
secured employment.
I am confident and prepared for my new job
because of the preparation tools provided by PRC.
I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to
participate in these programs.
Thank You!

Art
240 adults and 552 children developed their
self-esteem and creativity through PRC art
programs. Local artists volunteered to teach a wide
range of classes including pottery, digital photography,
music, watercolor painting and much more. PRC’s Kids
Art classes provided extracurricular arts opportunities
for children enrolled in after school programs. The
artwork of adult students and kids alike was displayed
in public art exhibits across DuPage County, providing
our students the opportunity to be recognized for their
artistic talents.
Sandy Conrow, a Women’s
Wisdom artist, won first prize in
the Pastel category last year at
the DuPage County Fair.
It Makes A Difference:
“
(The kids) are proud when they understand
something and do it well. I have implemented
the new policy of saying “I will try” or “Can
you please help me” rather than “I can’t” or
“I don’t know how” and it actually made a
difference.
“

Financial Support
From our humble beginnings in 1975, handing groceries out to neighbors in need from a small house on
Indiana Avenue in Wheaton, People’s Resource Center has grown to become a multi-site, multi-service
organization serving tens of thousands. All the while, we’ve remained grounded in grassroots community
support. The majority of our support comes from the donations of caring neighbors right here in DuPage
County. We are also very grateful for the generous support provided by foundations, corporations and
government agencies.
None of this work would be possible without your generosity –
thank you!
