Young Professionals Give Back for the Holidays!

The Young Professionals Organization celebrated the holiday season and to give back to the Central Illinois Community at the December 3rd YPO social. YPO hosted a community wide canned food / toy drive to support the Peoria Friendship House. The Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service is funded by the Heart of Illinois United Way, churches, individuals, grants/foundations, community support, and fundraisers.

With help from the Peoria community and YPO members, YPO was able to present The Peoria Friendship House with more than 300 canned food items, more than 150 toys, and in an auction and over $150 in cash.

Thank you to everyone that donated canned food or toys, gave money, attended the YPO social, and assist the Peoria Friendship House with their needs. All of the proceeds will assist those that are less fortunate during the holiday season.
