Human Services Division - Family Services

Human Services Division social workers provide short-term counseling and case management around issues of finances, housing, employment, aging and interpersonal relations. The Human Services Division is the local Salvation Army representative and may provide limited emergency assistance as available. Social workers provide advocacy and linkage with other services as appropriate and are available to Skokie community providers as needed. Please call 847/933-8208 for further information on assistance in any of these areas.

The Community Giving Program is designed to assist Skokie families with limited financial resources that might not otherwise be able to celebrate winter holidays with their children.  Families receive gift certificates for area businesses which they use to purchase holiday food and to buy items specific to each child's needs and wants.

If anyone is interested in donating to the Community Giving Program this year, or if you are a family in need or know of one, please contact the Human Services Division at 847/933-8208 for further information. Donations in the form of a check or gift certificate will be gratefully accepted through December 11, 2009.  Please make checks payable to the Village of Skokie (put Skokie Neediest Family Fund on memo line).
