🏈 Close parking for you. Community support for all! 🧡💙

Family Service was so happy to help Illini football fans find convenient parking close to the game while raising funds to continue serving our community!

As an organization supported by grant funding and donations, we’re grateful for every opportunity to support our services, including Meals on Wheels, Senior Transportation, Senior Food, counseling, and support for caregivers.

Thank you to everyone who parked with us! Your support reaches beyond game day and helps us continue making a difference for our neighbors. 🧡

Go ILLINI! 🧡💙

Yesterday, Family Service staff wore pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. We honor the strength of breast cancer survivors, support those currently fighting and remember loved ones we lost.

While breast cancer affects women (and some men) of all ages, the risk of developing the disease significantly increases with age.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we want to take this opportunity to remind seniors how important it is to prioritize health.

🩷 Stay up to date on recommended health screenings.

🩷 Know your body and report any unusual changes to your doctor.

Early detection is the greatest defense against breast cancer. Let's work together to raise awareness and promote prevention in honor of our loved ones.
