SAL Community Services

SAL Community Services SAL Community Services strengthens children, families, and individuals to build and enhance thriving communities.

At SAL Community Services (SAL), we provide Support, Advocacy, and Learning in our communities—from childhood to adulthood. Our mission is to strengthen children, families, and individuals to build and enhance thriving communities. Founded in 1970, we have a history of listening to the needs of our community and responding. We have grown from an organization focused on providing quality child care

to low-income working families to one that meets a wide variety of needs from early care and education to crisis assistance and stabilization services. Today, SAL has a bi-state, 17-county regional footprint from the Quad Cities to the Peoria area. We advocate with and for the people we support, the communities we serve, and the solutions we champion, and we offer an inclusive, welcoming community for the people we serve—and our employees. Visit www.salcommunityservices.org/about-us to learn more about our programs and the services we offer.

🎉 Celebrating 30 years of SAL’s Home Child Care Network 🎉

It’s hard to believe that SAL’s Home Child Care Network started in 1996 with just a handful of providers and children in the Quad Cities. Today, our network has grown to 70 providers (including 42 in our non-traditional care pilot) serving over 400 children every single day!

From expanding to Peoria in 2009 and celebrating our Galesburg office ribbon cutting last spring, the network continues to grow alongside the families and communities we serve.

None of this would be possible without the incredible home providers, families, staff, and community partners who have been part of this journey over the last 30 years 🤝

As we prepare to celebrate this milestone over the next few weeks, take a look back at some special moments from the last few years. Thank you for being a part of the journey with us and follow along for more celebrations, memories, and stories!

🥳 Here’s to 30 years of making a difference, and many more to come!

A huge THANK YOU to the Junior Board of Rock Island for awarding us a grant for back-to-school backpacks!

The generosity of the Junior Board of Rock Island will help us provide backpacks and school supplies for children in our school-age program. By starting the year off with the right supplies, children begin the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn!

Our Development team was honored to speak about the importance of this program and accept the grant at yesterday’s event.
