We began talking about offering 24 hour residential services in Putnam County 7 long years ago after being approached by a family who had a home in rural Granville and a daughter on the State of Illinois PUNS waiting list! Since the other 5 homes we support are in Princeton, it sounded like an amazing idea! Remodeling took place, followed by COVID, and then a handful of years with no luck in recruiting staff for 2nd and 3rd shifts, despite our best efforts. Fast forward to today, and the home is now a reality! Welcome home, ladies 🥳 We're looking forward to this next chapter!

Every year, we are reminded of the kindness and generosity of so many amazing people in our communities. THANK YOU to those who are remembering us with year-end donations and well wishes. The "Christmas Wish" program has been in existence for more than 20 years and has traditionally been a way to help those with no family contact or limited financial means still celebrate the holiday with a gift or two. Area churches have come together to be sure that everyone has an extra reason to smile on Christmas morning. The program itself is quite an undertaking, and we are so appreciative of the time and effort that Emily, our Quality Assurance Coordinator, puts into it. There are phone calls and letters and follow-up with contacts at the churches that participate, and then there is pulling all the anonymous gifts together and matching them with the recipients and ensuring they are all delivered on time. It was another successful year thanks to parishioners at First United Methodist Church of Princeton IL, St. Louis Parish - Princeton, IL, Christ Community Church, Princeton IL, New Hope Church of the Nazarene, First Lutheran Church, Open Prairie United Church of Christ, and some friends of Gateway 🙏🎅🎄
