Helping Hands For The Holidays

Since 2008, Helping Hands for the Holidays has brought the St. Charles community together to support individuals and families in need during the holiday season. Held annually at the St. Charles Convention Center, the event provides hot meals, winter clothing, personal care items, health services, and access to community resources.

In 2025, more than 700 guests attended our event. With the support of local businesses and organizations, we also collected more than 3,300 winter apparel items and six pallets of personal care products, with remaining donations distributed through Compass Health Network throughout the winter.

As we prepare for our 19th annual event on December 15, 2026, we invite you to join us in continuing this tradition of compassion, dignity, and community support. Together, we are helping hands for a better tomorrow.
