We Can Lead Change-Fox Valley is calling on its Fox Valley Women s March supporters to March Into Action this February by supporting people in most need through a Unity in the Community 2021 Day of Action on Saturday, Feb. 13.
Due to ongoing pandemic concerns, the Fox Valley Women s March is choosing to not gather on the streets of downtown Geneva this winter as they have done for the past two years, but that doesn t mean would-be marchers are sitting on the sidelines.

Fox Valley Hands of Hope has come a long way since its early beginnings in the basement of a church back in 1981. First known as Fox Valley Hospice, then Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice, and now Fox Valley Hands of Hope, the agency has experienced many blossoms in its illustrious tenure. What has remained constant in all of these years of service is their dedication to compassion, comfort, and hope.

Every day, more children in Illinois are diagnosed with critical illnesses that would qualify them for Make-A-Wish. In fact, more than 100 wish children in Illinois are waiting for volunteers to help grant their wishes. Start the year off by enriching your life and others through volunteering as a wish granter for children in your area.
Wishes are happening now, and volunteers are needed in most Illinois communities to work with families in safely distanced ways following local, state and Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
Volunteers bilingual in Spanish and English are especially needed.
To become a volunteer, the first step is to attend a Volunteer Information webinar. The next sessions are: 5 to 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4; noon to 12:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18; 8 to 8:45 a.m. Wednesday, March 3; or 5 to 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, March 16. Sign up at wish.org/illinois/our-events.
Wild One chapter starts Start in Your Yard initiative Doug Tallamy, author of Nature s Best Hope, Start in Your Yard
Wild Ones of Northern Kane County recently announced a new initiative, Start in Your Yard.
Based on the concept in Doug Tallamy s book, Nature s Best Hope, Start in Your Yard, embraces the concept that it is up to each one of us to help to restore ecological function to our degraded landscapes.
Rather than assume that nature is out there somewhere, Start in Your Yard premises that each of us can do our part to develop and sustain natural habitat in our own back yard.
