Elgin’s Edgewater Residents Have Many Ways to Make Wishes Come True in Their Community

Water color paint sets are just one of the many items that can be found on the "Wish Lists" of Elgin charities this year.

Looking for a great way to spread the spirit of giving this year? One that will make a powerful impact in Del Webb’s Edgewater community and will last past the time when the wrapping paper is torn away, the Christmas tree is taken down and the new year has arrived?

Edgewater residents have a wealth of Elgin-based resources to support with everything from cash to cleaning supplies and volunteer opportunities to vacuums. These agencies provide a wide range of services, including counseling for troubled families, after-school care, literacy programs, help for mentally and physically challenged children and adults, assistance for victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault, vocational help for adults with disabilities and more.

As reported recently in the Elgin Courier and compiled by the Elgin Chamber Catalog of Guide, every item on this “Wish List” is something that will make the coming year a little easier. So, Del Webb encourages you to review the names and needs of below, then contact the individual agencies at the phone numbers and addresses provided.
