11. Community Services Update - Mary Keating Mary Keating, Director of Community Services, reminded the committee of the 7th Annual DuPage Human Race on Saturday, April 28. Ms. Keating urged the committee members to attend to see the 57 nonprofit agencies that will be represented at the event which has over 1100 registered runners. Chairman Larsen added that if the event follows last year, there may be a chance for a County Board member to speak on ABC News on behalf of the County.
Ms. Keating thanked all who attended the Chili Cook-Off on Tuesday, April 10. The event raised over $3200.00 for the DuPage Social Services Association (DSSA), which is a small charitable fund which helps Community Services’ clients with small amounts of financial assistance that can’t be funded elsewhere. Proceeds for DSSA are raised from payroll deductions and fund raisers such as the Chili Cook-Off.
Ms. Keating mentioned the Dispensary of Hope signs in front of the DuPage Care Center and explained the Dispensary of Hope is a nonprofit agency based out of Tennessee. The dispensary collects pharmaceutical samples or overruns from manufacturers and makes the medicines available to nonprofit pharmacies to assist low income residents with prescriptions that have no other means of assistance. The DuPage Health Coalition has united with the DuPage Care Center pharmacy to become a Dispensary of Hope location. Residents that are income eligible and have no other forms of insurance can receive their prescriptions for free. This partnership will save Access DuPage tens of thousands of dollars; providing prescriptions has been their biggest budget line item. The DuPage Health Coalition will also provide funding to the Care Center to provide this service.
