Dekalb County’s population in 2017 was 104,733. Out of this number 15.8% were at poverty level. Almost 16% of our population is at risk of being or has become homeless at some point.
We are also asking for new school supplies and Payless gift cards from $25-$40 to donate to our school district.
AT ANY GIVEN TIME THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR 6% of 6,600 STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOLS IN DEKALB, IL ARE HOMELESS. THAT’S 200-300 CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL! (Contact our superintendent for more information.)
