The Young Professional Organization of Greater Peoria got into the spirit of the holidays by collecting canned food items and unwrapped toys for the Friendship House during the month of November.  Thursday evening at the monthly YPOGP social, they delivered the goods.  The organization gathered more than 300 canned food items, more than 150 toys, and in an auction and an impromptu collection, YPO collected over $150 CASH all to benefit Peoria Friendship House.

YPO encourages its members to get involved in the community and make a difference.  For more information on YPOGP contact Sarah Stabler at sstabler@chamber.h-p.org or 309-495-5914 or Sarah Vogler at the Peoria Friendship House at svogler@peoriafriendshiphouse.org or 309-671-5200.
