We’re grateful to work alongside the La Grange Rotary Club and so many community partners through the La Grange Rotary Secret Santa program. Rotary plays a unique role as a connector, bringing local businesses and community groups together in service of our neighbors, and has been a generous, consistent presence in our community for years.

Secret Santa helps ensure children and families who access preventative medical and dental care through Pillars Community Health also experience warmth, joy, and dignity during the holiday season. Each year, this effort provides warm clothing, school supplies, books, and toys to between 800 and 1,000 children living in and around our community.

This is what a whole community caring looks like: neighbors supporting neighbors, partners working together, and children feeling seen and supported. Thank you to the La Grange Rotary Club and everyone who makes this possible.

Some days feel heavier than others, and that weight can show up in different ways — sadness, anger, confusion, or quiet overwhelm.

If you or someone you care about needs support, help is available:

Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

Call 708-745-4673 (708-PILLARS) to connect with Pillars Community Health’s local crisis team

Both are available 24/7. You don’t have to carry this alone.

Safety, respect, and choice are essential needs. For people experiencing domestic or sexual violence, reaching out for support can be a powerful first step toward safety and healing.

Pillars Community Health offers free and confidential domestic and sexual violence services, including crisis intervention, counseling, medical and legal advocacy, and emergency shelter at Constance Morris House.

Our survivor-centered teams work alongside individuals to understand their options and support their goals — always honoring their privacy, autonomy, and decisions.

You are not alone.

The holidays can stir up more than just cheer — grief, anxiety, family conflict, and loneliness can surface in different ways this time of year. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to pause, breathe, and reach out.

Pillars Community Health is here — with mental health support, crisis services, and more. You don’t have to go through this alone.
