Soulcial Kitchen is once again on the rise,
With doors that soon will open wide
Adding a new partner with passion and zest,
A community-driven eatery, at its best.
Soulcial Kitchen, it's not just about food,
It's about coming together, doing what's good,
Over 4,200 free meals served so far to the poor
And now, with help, we will do even more
From pizza and burgers to wings with a twist
The menu's a pot of flavors we can't resist
But what sets this kitchen apart with such notable pride
Is the goal to nourish both body and soul inside
With a history of giving, it's no surprise
That serving 10,000 free meals in 2023 is the real prize.
So with our soon to be announced new restaurant partner in tow,
We are excited to to see what our collective efforts to bless others will sow.

A new analysis commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that flood damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a household, and that many home buyers are unaware of that potential cost.

You can determine your flood risk by contacting Swansea's floodplain administrator Joe Iliff.

Climate change means more rain and higher seas, which adds up to more flooded homes. Even a small amount of water indoors can cost a lot.

Village of Swansea joins International Code Council for the celebration of Building Safety Month 2022

Swansea, Illinois – In May 2022, the Village of Swansea, Illinois will participate in the 42nd annual Building Safety Month, a worldwide campaign presented by the International Code Council, its members and partners to promote building safety. This year’s campaign, “Safety for All: Building Codes in Action,” raises awareness about the importance of building codes in ensuring safety in the spaces in which we live, work and learn.

Homes and buildings that are built in compliance with building safety codes and the officials who enforce the codes are essential to helping communities become affordable, resilient, and energy and water-efficient. Building Safety Month provides homeowners, government officials, and the public with the necessary information and resources to prepare and protect our built environment.

This year’s campaign themes are: Week One, May 1-8, Planning for a Safe & Sustainable Tomorrow; Week Two, May 9-15, Exploring Careers in Building Safety; Week Three, May 16-22, Understanding Disaster Mitigation; May 23-31, Creating a Safe & Abundant Water Supply.

With an extensive history dating back to 2200 B.C and the Code of the Hammurabi, king of the Babylonian Empire, building codes have protected the public for thousands of years. Today, the International Codes, developed by the Code Council and adopted by our community, are the most widely used and adopted set of building safety codes in the world.
