You’re invited to join fellow Alcott caregivers for a book discussion with the author of Navigate Family Technology, Nora Duncan O’Brien. This book offers strategies to live our tech lives with intention; our discussion will provide an opportunity to continue conversations around parenting & educating children in an era of constant connectivity. All Alcott caregivers are welcome to attend, even if you haven't had a chance to finish the book.

Community Outreach
Over the holidays, dozens of necessary household items including beds, kitchenware and toiletries were distributed to several families in need. They were overcome with emotion at your generosity and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will be on the lookout for anything else they may need as they get settled in Chicago and will reach out again when they could use our help.
