UCP SEGUIN
Blessings in a Backpack is a non-profit organization that provides weekend food to elementary school children who might otherwise go hungry. The program ensures that students who rely on free and reduced-price meals during the school week have enough food to eat on Saturdays and Sundays, helping them to come to school on Monday ready to learn. This is accomplished by giving students a bag of non-perishable, ready-to-eat food to take home every Friday.
West Suburban Special Recreation Association exists to provide year-round quality recreation services for persons with disabilities. We are dedicated to serving our consumers with
- First class program opportunities
- Distinctive customer service
- Reliable transportation
- Professional, caring staff
- A safe and fun environment
We focus on the individual and their opportunity for fun!
Opportunity Knocks is an Illinois 501c.3 non-profit organization that serves young people who have developmental disabilities in the Oak Park, Forest Park and River Forest communities through social, recreational and life-skills programming. We are dedicated to providing opportunities and resources to our program’s participants so that they may pursue their educational, occupational and social interests. We are almost completely privately funded, minus a modest 3% of funds that come from township government support.
UCP Seguin’s Children’s Foster Care Department has a contract with the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services to provide specialized foster care to children with complex needs from birth to 21 years of age. These children face an array of challenges such as medical disorders, mental health issues, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and trauma.
