🌸 Community Care Fair – Community Announcement 🌸

We are proud to announce our upcoming Community Care Fair, hosted by Central Illinois Resource Center Inc (CIRC) in partnership with Pink Blossom Thrift & Resources—and made possible by an incredible group of community partners who are stepping up in a real way.

Each of the organizations below has chosen to show up, be present, and actively invest in the well-being of our community. That matters.

🤝 Community Partners & Vendors

We want to publicly recognize and thank:

Carle Health Greater Peoria – advancing accessible, patient-centered healthcare

OSF HealthCare – supporting whole-person health and community wellness

OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois – advocating for pediatric and family health

OSF Cancer & Blood Disorders Institute – standing with individuals and families facing serious illness

đź’™ Why This Matters

Every organization listed above made a conscious decision to be active, visible, and engaged in supporting people who need it most. Community care doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when organizations step beyond their walls and into the community.

This event is about access.
It’s about dignity.
And it’s about meeting people where they are.
