I have been involved with Santa for the Very Poor, (SVP) since 2004. I have attended the toy packing event with friends and neighbors and have met some of the most generous and kind people I know.
This charity takes NO administrative fees and everything is donated or paid for by the directors, so your dollars all go to the very poor.
I highly endorse and recommend this group for all the hard work they do in the greater Chicago area.
Thanks
Rick Delisle
