WindyCon's charity this year is the People's Resource Center based in Wheaton.
As they say in their mission statement, they exist "to respond to basic human
needs, promote dignity and justice, and create a future of hope and opportunity
for the residents of DuPage County, Illinois through discovering and sharing
personal and community resources."
Their diverse services include a food pantry, emergency rent and mortgage
assistance, adult and family literacy programs and an art studio. PRC has also
had a major technological impact on the lives of thousands of low-income DuPage
County residents through the PRC Computer Training Program and the PRC Computer
Technology Access Program. These two programs provide free computer literacy
instruction as well as free reconditioned computers for households.
Please feel free to visit their website at http://peoplesrc.org for more details on their programs and what we can do
to help support them. As we work out more details as to exactly what we will be
doing at the convention they will be posted here, so check back for updates.
