A total of 121 calls were received, 26 of which requested financial assistance. Salvation Army assisted in six cases. In two of these situations individuals were provided with emergency lodging in a local motel, three were provided assistance with utility bill payments and one received assistance with rent. Six calls involved referrals for food stamps-and/or emergency food assistance through food certificates and the food pantry. Additionally 3 calls requested low-cost medical care. . Usually high were the number of calls (8) which involved handicap problems. During the first week. of November over 40 calls have been received by Community Service, which is exceptionally busy. 16 of these calls related to financial problems, 9 of which requested Thanksgiving food baskets. Tom Rogers, a senior at Elk Grove High School, has. been assisting Community Service with the holiday food drive. He is working on his Eagle Scout badge and will do the major planning and coordinating of the Thanksgiving food drive for his project. In response to the possible -District #59 teacher's strike- on Wednesday, November 16th, Community Service has set a meeting of various community agencies for Monday, November 14, 1983 at 9:30 a.m.. at the Park -District's Cedar House to establish alternative child care arrangements for working parents. Those participating in the meeting will include the Park District, Youth Services of Elk Grove Township, Elk Grove. Library, Elk Grove Township Community Day Care Center and Police Department Youth officers. I attended:a meeting on Schaumburg's Shared Housing program, a program which primarily addresses the tremendous local demand for- low-cost senior housing. This program attempts to match seniors with seniors so that they can share housing expenses. Schaumburg has hired a part-time housing counselor to coordinate this program. After this initial year of the :program, they hope to get other communities involved in 'sharing the expense of this program as it is felt this program can be more effective serving more than one community. The Elk Grove Rotary Club has informed me that they will be donating $500° worth of food certificates to the Community Service office to assist with our holiday food drive. They are also contributing $2,500 to the Meals-on- Wheels program. A comparable amount was raised by the seniors at the Village Grove complex and donated to the Meals-on-Wheels program. The program on latch-key children at the library had a very poor response. Only two parents and several "professionals" were in attendance. } Efforts to enlist Salvation Army bellringers are underway. Any assistance the Board can offer will be very much appreciated.
