Senior Connections Celebration

Family Service of Glencoe (FSG) is pleased to announce expanded services to Glencoe’s older residents and caregivers.

Last year, FSG continued our study of the concerns of Glencoe’s seniors through a targeted needs assessment. This assessment prompted the development of new programs and services. “As Glencoe’s primary social service agency, it is our mission to care for the social-emotional needs of our older residents,” said William Hansen, MSW, Executive Director of FSG.

FSG is hosting a free celebration event on Monday, November 21 at 1:30pm at North Shore Congregation Israel. Guest speaker is Linda Collins, Director of Care Options at North Shore Senior Center. The event will focus on information related to new offerings from FSG and community partners. Guests are requested to rsvp to Audrey@familyserviceofglencoe.org.

The intention of our new program is to provide awareness of, advocacy for, and access to an array of services for Glencoe seniors and those who care for them. Program framework is organized into three primary components: outreach and education, social and emotional health, and direct assistance. The program will be launched in phases beginning this fall as funding allows.

Partner organizations include Glencoe Junior High Project, Glencoe Park District, Glencoe Public Library, Glencoe Public Safety and North Shore Senior Center.
