PLCCA Inc. and ComEd teamed up to spread holiday joy and vital resources to 400 families during the annual Christmas Holiday Food Basket and Toy Giveaway on December 17. Held at PLCCA’s headquarters on Madison Street, the event brought festive cheer and practical assistance to families in need.
Children took photos with Santa Claus, played by Maywood Fire Chief Bronaugh, while toys for up to four children per family were distributed by members of the Maywood Fire Department and PLCCA staff. Families also left with holiday food baskets, ensuring they could celebrate the season with hearty meals.
In addition to holiday festivities, attendees received critical support from ComEd representatives, who connected families to bill-assistance programs and energy efficiency resources. The initiative was part of ComEd’s Powering Lives Resource Fairs, which are designed to bring help directly to communities that need it most.
For those unable to attend, ComEd offered additional support through its Smart Assistance Manager, available online at ComEd.com/SAM.
The event was made possible with support from sponsors including Amazon, Nicor Gas, and ComEd, whose contributions underscored the power of collaboration in uplifting the community.
Though registration for the event was full, the impact of this day will resonate well beyond the holiday season, reminding families of the resources available to them year-round.
PLCCA Inc. and ComEd continue to lead the charge in ensuring no family in Maywood is left without the support they need to thrive.
