Become a Volunteer Meal Driver: Just 2 Hours a Week

Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois

For thousands of older adults across Illinois, a knock at the door is more than just a food delivery—it is a vital lifeline. At Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWFNI), we are dedicated to helping our senior neighbors live independently, safely, and with dignity in the homes they love. We achieve this through nutritious food, wellness checks, and the power of human connection, but we cannot do it alone. The Power of Our Volunteers Our volunteers are the heartbeat of MOWFNI. If you have just two hours a week to spare, you can make a profound difference. Delivering meals fits seamlessly into a midday routine or lunch break. As a volunteer driver, you do far more than hand over a meal; you provide a friendly smile, a warm conversation, and a crucial safety check for a senior who might not see anyone else that day. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to volunteer weekly, monthly, or as part of a team with coworkers or friends. Our Core Programs: Home-Delivered Meals: We provide hot, medically tailored, and nutritious meals delivered directly to the doorsteps of those who cannot cook or shop for themselves. Community Cafes: Beyond home delivery, our vibrant Community Cafes offer a welcoming space for active older adults to gather, enjoy a delicious lunch, socialize, and build meaningful friendships that combat senior isolation. Make a Local Impact Today When you support or volunteer with MOWFNI, you are directly investing in the health and happiness of older adults right here in our neighborhood. Whether you are looking to give back during retirement, connect with your community, or get your local business involved in a meaningful cause, there is a place for you in our volunteer family. Join us in delivering more than a meal. Visit mowfni.org/volunteer-sign-up to fill out a brief volunteer application, or call us today to learn how you can start changing lives—one hour, one smile, and one senior at a time.

Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.

Curtain Call Theatre

Curtain Call Theatre is delighted to announce its upcoming production of ‘The Curious Savage’ by John Patrick, a witty and deeply moving comedy that has charmed audiences for decades with its humor, heart, and surprising insight into human nature.
Running June 12–14 and June 19–21, 2026, this beloved play invites audiences into The Cloisters, a sanatorium filled with residents who may not be as “mad” as the outside world believes, and perhaps more honest than those deemed “sane.” Curtain Call’s production will be directed by Matt Carey and assistant directed by Kathleen Carlson.
At the center of the story is Ethel P. Savage, a recently widowed millionaire who has chosen to use her fortune to help others pursue their dreams. When her scheming stepchildren — driven by greed and social status — have her committed in an attempt to seize her wealth, Ethel finds unexpected friendship, loyalty, and clarity among her fellow residents.
What unfolds is a comedic yet poignant exploration of kindness versus cruelty, imagination versus conformity, and the blurred line between sanity and madness. As the residents rally around Ethel, the play cleverly lampoons societal norms while celebrating empathy, individuality, and the courage to live authentically.
Originally premiering on Broadway in 1950 at the Martin Beck Theatre, starring Lillian Gish, ‘The Curious Savage’ remains a timeless piece that resonates just as strongly today.

Performance Dates and Times:
<ul><li>Friday, June 12 – 7:30 PM</li><li>Saturday, June 13 – 7:30 PM</li><li>Sunday, June 14 – 2:00 PM</li><li>Friday, June 19 – 7:30 PM</li><li>Saturday, June 20 – 7:30 PM</li><li>Sunday, June 21 – 2:00 PM</li></ul>
With its blend of sharp comedy, heartfelt storytelling, and unforgettable characters, ‘The Curious Savage’ promises an evening of laughter, reflection, and a gentle reminder that sometimes the most “sane” choice is simply to be kind.
Tickets for ‘The Curious Savage’ are just $22 and are selling fast!
