Thank you to the Minooka Walmart Distribution Center #3930 for their generous grant of $4668 to fund the cultural activities for all clients at Community Day Services. Because of this grant, we can continue to offer art therapy, in-person live music therapy, and culture-based cooking classes at no cost to the adults with intellectual disabilities we serve. Thank you, Walmart!!!

What a treat!!! Thank you to all of our generous donors; every date on our calendar was funded, and we reached our goal of raising $4,960 in celebration of 55 years of IVI! This money will go to fund our mission to help adults with intellectual disabilities live, learn, and grow.

Thank you to all of our clients, families, staff, board members, and community members for your support and for making this birthday milestone possible. Without all of you, IVI would not be where we are or who we are today.

Did you say DRUMLINE?!! Thanks to the $5000 grant from the Abel Endowment at the Community Foundation of Grundy County IVI has formed our very own drumline led by Scott Kindlespire.

Our first demonstration was last night with practices starting next week. Our goal is to have some fun, learn some new skills AND perform locally!

Some of the parents and staff even joined in on the fun. Stay tuned, big things are in store for this crew.
