From: The Employee Recognition Committee

A big “thank you”

to Don and

Deanna Witzel and

the team at

McDonald’s and

State’s Attorney

Jacqueline Lacy

for collecting sup-

plies for Cross-

point at the Y.

Congratulations!

The Holland has been

named as one of Illinois’

200 Great Places in

honor of the state’s Bi-

centennial this year. The

Holland received this

plaque and is also fea-

tured in a new website at

WWW.illinoisgreatplaces.

com and on a new Insta-

gram account

@ilgreatplaces.

Property managers are

Gail Fugh-Miller and

Thank you...

Some of the residents from

our group homes got the

chance to decorate a tree for

the Festival of Trees.

Chad and Ruth Hays donated

the tree.

Thank you for giving our resi-

dents the chance to enjoy this

wonderful experience decorat-

ing a tree for the festival. They

are still talking about it.

Festival of Trees

Soup Kitchen at Crosspoint at the Y The Soup Kitchen Event is an event that we do in Noverber

for Homeless Awareness Month. This is an event that the

Vermilion County Continuum of Care has been doing for

the last 5 years. November has been a time to acknowl-

edge those children and families experiencing homeless-

ness.

This is a time for us all to start to think about what we are

thankful for, a perfect time to share our compassion with

our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness, and

work toward a world where no one has to experience hun-

ger or homelessness.

While we set aside a week to shed light on the issues of

hunger and homelessness, remember that advocacy work

happens 365 days a year.
