Tis the Season...Get ready for the YPO December Social at Embassy Suites on the East Peoria Riverfront!  Get out your crazy, tacky Christmas sweaters!  The more glitter, the goofier, the better!  This event is a chance for YPO to celebrate the holiday season AND to give back to the Central Illinois Community!  We are having a CANNED FOOD / TOY DRIVE to support the Peoria Friendship House.  The Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service is funded by the Heart of Illinois United Way, churches, individuals, grants/foundations, community support, and fundraisers. Over $250 in door prizes will be given away at the event!

They serve a community which is:
75%  - African-American
20%  - Caucasian
5%    -  Hispanic
80% of the service area consists of individuals caring for families with an average annual income below $10,000.00.50% of the individuals receiving emergency assistance at Friendship House are functionally illiterate. So bring any amount of canned food items and/or one unwrapped toy that will greatly benefit this audience and break out your favorite Christmas sweater for a great night with YPO!!!
