Program Description

Details

On Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to the Glen Ellyn Library Foundation in support of GEPL’s Compassion Fund. The Compassion Fund provides meal vouchers, redeemable at The Cafe, through Walk-In Ministry to community members in need of a meal.

The first $1,000 in donations made through December 1 will be matched by generous gifts from Glen Ellyn Bank & Trust and an anonymous donor. One donor who contributes by December 1 will receive a $200 Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce gift certificate via random drawing. Learn more about the Glen Ellyn Library Foundation and make your donation.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
