941-HELP booth at September 24th
941-HELP Julie & Devan will have 941-HELP information at a booth at Gardner's "Night on the Town" on Tuesday, September 24th, from 5:00-8:00 pm in downtown Gardner.

Each summer we host Town Hall Meetings around Grundy County.  At the meeting for Gardner, Braceville, and South Wilmington, we heard that many residents in the area aren't aware of the social services in Grundy County.  One way to help is to do a better job of marketing 941-HELP so that Grundy residents can find the help they need when they need it.

Come on out that night and see us at our booth -- it's sure to be a fun event!
