The People's Resource Center (PRC) is quite literally a lifeline in DuPage County to those

find themselves in a difficult life situation, meeting family needs on a very low income.
The PRC services help bring them closer to the mainstream, overcoming the many barriers
encountered in their daily struggles. In so doing, the PRC strengthens the whole community
by genuinely trying to make our neighbors' lives better and more meaningful.
