National Dog Day isn't just about celebrating dogs. It's also a moment to think about the people who care for them, including older adults for whom a pet can mean daily companionship, routine, and a reason to stay active.

Life as an older adult can come with real challenges, from managing daily costs to navigating care needs. AgeOptions connects older adults and caregivers in suburban Cook County to local resources and support options. Call us at (708) 383-0258 to learn more.

This National Dog Day, we're celebrating the older adults in our community and the companionship that keeps them moving.

BEAR DOWN!

Have you ever watched the Bears live at Soldier Field? There is nothing like it — and this year's silent auction at Celebrating Resiliency: Together We Thrive could put you right in the middle of the action!

We are auctioning off two tickets to the Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots on October 22nd — Section 151, Row 15, Seats 17 and 18 in the north end zone. With the Patriots coming off a Super Bowl appearance last season, this is shaping up to be a must-see matchup.

ATTN: It's SNAP Week of Action 📣

States are facing major federal changes to how SNAP benefits are funded.
Without action, Illinois could have to pay up to $550M per year to keep SNAP intact —or risk losing the program entirely.

That puts food assistance for 1.5M Illinoisans at risk.
A 2-year delay of this funding change would give more states time to prepare and protect SNAP.

Tell Congress: Delay the Deadline, Defend SNAP. Take action today: https://chicagosfoodbank.quorum.us/campaign/150271/
