With so many people in need of help these days, it can be tough for those with the means to help to know just where to start. The DuPage Community Foundation has an easy answer.

The organization, which each year awards grants to help dozens of DuPage nonprofits help people in need, has more calls for help than ever this year. It's calling on the entire community to help them meet the need.

The DuPage Community Foundation Board of Trustees voted this month to increase its spring grant budget by $50,000 and they've challenged the community to do the same. The Community Crisis Challenge sets out to raise $50,000 in donations by April 5.
