For the 5th year in a row, the Hoffman Estates Jaycees will be working with the Community Resource Center to help purchase clothing and other necessary items for children in our community who have difficulty affording them.

This year we are taking 5 families shopping at Target (at Sutton and Higgins) in Hoffman Estates, starting shopping at 9am.

You can help! We need 8-10 volunteers for this event. If you plan to attend as an volunteer email hoffmanestatesjaycees@gmail.com or find the Christmas Kids event on Facebook and reply Yes.
