People's Resource Center meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

From its beginnings in a rented house in Wheaton, where food boxes were distributed through a basement window, to our current multi-service resource center, People’ s Resource Center (PRC) has had a major impact on our DuPage County community. Since 1975, People’s Resource Center has been both a lifeline to many thousands of residents in temporary emergencies, as well as a pathway of opportunity to those yearning to better their lives. More than 1,100 volunteers, supported by a small staff, dedicate their time, skills and resources to help their neighbors. The impact on the lives of those residents has been both immediate and long term. Today, more than 31,000 DuPage residents rely on PRC for help each year. Individuals and families visit our full-service sites in Wheaton and Westmont to meet their needs, as well as multiple neighborhood training sites. Our core resources of food, clothing, homeless prevention assistance and emergency financial assistance help people to meet their basic needs. Our education, training and enrichment programs include computer training and access to computer technology for the home, English as a Second Language classes and tutoring, assistance with GED and citizenship exam preparation, job search mentoring, and People’s Art classes, including Women’s Wisdom, Kid’s Art, various mixed classes, and open studio.
