Still looking for ways to give back this holiday season? The Resurrection Homebound Elderly Program – a program that supports Chicago’s “low-income, socially isolated and chronically ill” homebound elderly – makes it possible to provide a little holiday happiness for these seniors in our community. Calling (847) 568-8531 will get you the name and information of a program participant who will need a gift this year, or a contribution of $25 will be enough to purchase a hot holiday meal and gift box delivered directly to their door. You can also always make a tax-deductible donation to the program, which services patients regardless of their ability to pay. For those who have a little extra time to volunteer, help is needed to drive and distribute gifts to each home and with helping to write the program’s handwritten holiday cards.

Thank you for posting this, it's a really amazing program and the elderly participants are so amazingly thankful.
I'm breaking my pledge to never comment again following Spook's Easter-protest comments.
I'm in another country with a shitty exchange rate for grad school, I'm paying student loans out the ass, I'm down to one meal or so a day just to make sure I can afford to live here, but this article made me donate.
And I'm not at all upset about it. Thanks, Chicagoist.
Great. I've been looking for a way to meet older women, and I think I found it!
I'm kidding, its a great program and everyone should participate.
The appreciation of the dollar can be a real pain when living abroad. My advice: Find a job which pays in USD or a pegged currency (they exist in almost every country). It provides a lot more stability.
You guys are great. Thank you!
