Welcome to the Phalanx Family Services Pullout Section of the Chicago Leader!
Thank you to all who supported our annual “May Day” event. This is our first major event of our 20th Anniversary year where we invite the community to enjoy an outdoor showcase of our many programs and services. We had free food, music, entertainment, games, raffles, giveaways, and much more. Through this annual event, we strive to have the community become more aware of what we have to offer and benefit from our programs.
Phalanx’s Wellness Fair
Last month, for the first time in our history, Phalanx Family Services recognized National Mental Health Awareness Month with a community “Wellness Fair.” It featured:
- Free food.
- Relaxing music.
- Yoga.
- Free therapy sessions.
- Massage therapy.
- Therapeutic horses and dogs.
- And a whole lot more!
It is our hope by exposing the community to these wellness practices, our community members will find something that resonates with them and seek these therapies out on their own.
Month of May
In the month of May, we also truly earned our ability to say we serve the ENTIRE family by hosting an “Amazon Pet Day” in collaboration with Amazon, the Anti-Cruelty Society, and a host of local animal advocacy and care partners. Our furry friends, larger and small, received free vaccinations, pet food, toys, and treats. The event was enjoyed by all and will become a part of our annual tradition.
This month, we will be hosting our annual “Juneteenth – Freedom Day Celebration” on Saturday, June 17. Like all of our free annual community events, we will be presenting free food, live music, entertainment, games, raffles, and giveaways. We will also be hosting an exhibit area for our community partners who will showcase their resources and services.
Continual Efforts
We continually encourage everyone to help eradicate COVID-19 and make our communities safer by getting vaccinated and boosted. Phalanx Family Services offer shots and boosters every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. We hope you’ll step up, and encourage others as well, to make the right choice for you, your family, and your community.
Thank you again for reading the Phalanx Family Services Pullout Section of the Chicago Leader. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
Sincerely,
Tina Sanders
