I am passionate about serving in a community that strives to improve the conditions of families.  With great joy, I extend the services provided by Logan Square Neighborhood Association (LSNA) by outreaching to parents, schools, and community leaders.

 

At the Logan Square Neighborhood Association we serve the community by providing the following resources:

 
  • Low cost quality clinic
  • All Kids Insurance applications for Children, Family Care, Moms & Babies
     
  • Medicaid applications
     
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

 

We provide resources for people working without health insurance, those who are unemployed, and undocumented adults/children.  Every time I am able to assist a family member with a SNAP application, it warms my heart to know that a family in need will soon have food on the table.  Especially in this cold weather, I have seen many people having hard times. Whether it is families experiencing job loss, struggling with a lack of health insurance, or simply looking for resources to become a better parent, Logan Square Neighborhood Association is able to help.  We offer Early Learning Programs, like'Abriendo Puertas," to prepare children from ages zero to five become more social and ready for kindergarten.
