Supervisor’s Message

Matching Gift Programs are Helpful

We have been very busy and want to thank you for your continued support and assistance.  With loyal volunteers and dedicated contributors we assist many residents in need through our outreach programs.  Every donation and volunteer enables us to reach an increasing amount of people in need and successfully run our programs on a large scale.

Some residents may not be aware of the financial donations that are given to the Needy Family Fund, a tax-dedubtible 501(c)(3) Corporation.  These donations allow our General Assistance office to assist those who do not qualify for regular General Assistance programs and may have suffered a job loss, an unexpected medical expense or experienced some other financially devasting news.  If your employer offers a Matching Gift Program, please consider making an unrestricted donation to the Palatine Township Needy Family Fund.  This Fund has received employee/employer matching donations because donor companies have matched (or doubled) their donation.  Please check with your Human Resource Department to determine if there is a Matching Gift Program in place or perhaps you can help create a program for this purpose.

All donations, whether large or small, are appreciated.
