PROJECT SANTA | WESTERN ILLINOIS REGIONAL COUNCIL
Provides gifts and clothing for the Christmas season to children of eligible households in Hancock, Henderson, and McDonough counties.
For Christmas 2025:
Due to a high number of applications received in a short time, WIRC's Project Santa program has paused applications for the 2025 season (as of 10/13/25).
A waitlist application is now available: https://wirpc.org/projectsanta. If spots open for the 2025 program, WIRC will consider households on the wait list in the order they applied.
Those who do not want to be put on the wait list are encouraged to explore other holiday programs in the area such as Toys for Tots, Angel Tree, or Shop with a Cop.
