The Heart of Illinois United Way held its 2007 Day of Caring on Friday, September 7^th. The Day of Caring brings together volunteers from area businesses to perform a variety of tasks for HOIUW member agencies in need of assistance. This event is one of many presented by the HOIUW to promote volunteerism within our community.  

As a HOIUW member agency, PARC was able to benefit from this Day of Caring. We are grateful to the many volunteers from the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Allen Road and Townline who donated their time and energy to paint classrooms at PARC's Townline facility. 

The employees of Wal-Mart Supercenter are great neighbors to have and show continued support for PARC and our mission to provide choices for a quality life to individuals with developmental disabilities. In addition to volunteering for HOIUW's Day of Caring, Wal-Mart Supercenter is host to PARC's 2007 PARC 'N' Play Super Cruise-In. This annual event is held to provide activities funding for PARC programs. The event features a classic car cruise-in,  food and fun for all ages, musical entertainment, games, raffles and much more.
