This month, we’re spotlighting ASI Healthcare Services.

Their mission is to provide quality, supportive, home care services to post-acute patients, senior citizens and persons with disabilities throughout metropolitan Chicago with an emphasis and commitment to Chicago’s Hispanic and African American communities.

In the last year, ASI has dedicated a lot of their efforts to providing our community with COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, in December and January alone, ASI teamed up with our office to host five vaccine clinics with even more to come.

Thank you ASI, for all the hard work you do to keep us safe!

Sip of Hope Coffee Roasters and Cafe

From their website: Sip of Hope is not only a place to grab a delicious cup of coffee or tea, but the brick-and-mortar representation of the work that Hope for the Day does every day to break the silence of stigma. Whether providing physical resources, holding events within our space, or partnering with the public library located across the street, having a physical space provided numerous new opportunities to connect with our community
