Project Santa -Western Illinois Regional Council

Welcome! We are Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC), a western Illinois nonprofit with big goals to change people’s lives for the better. Our mission is to partner with people and communities to improve lives and neighborhoods. We aim to accomplish our mission by providing social service programs to people in need, recycling programs to help the environment, and community development services to local elected officials. Most importantly, we cannot accomplish our mission without people like YOU who donate their time by volunteering, give monetary donations to support our programs, or share information about our services with people who could be helped by them.

Since 1983, the mission of Project Santa has been to provide gifts and clothing to children of eligible households in Hancock, Henderson, and McDonough counties in western Illinois. Project Santa aims to give children a sense of security and grow their giving spirit. Please join us to share in the joy of shopping for the children on the designated days and times.
