V FISH volunteers deliver Easter food to, needy SttllUN 2 -PAGE 3 - HLAINULALEH - FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1WM By Alida Wirtz FISH volunteers packed Easter baskets for 50 families on April 15. Because of the generosity of the McHenry community, large cartons filled with food were delivered to our neighbors. The cartons con­ tained staple foods, packaged and canned; bread, rolls, paper goods, and we were able to in­ clude a good supply of candy and THE FISH cookies. A Girl Scout troop decorated dozens of eggs. Pretty little plastic cup Raster baskets filled with candy eggs were sent . to each family - one for child. * One family particularly in­ terested the volunteers. Hie family had two small children, the father was seriously ill in the Workshops on aging scheduled Old age: those quiet years when our parents can look forward to seeing the rewards of Social Security and tucked-away bank accounts. They will sit in wisdom while the young seek them out. Life is finally content. There ends the American dream. Old age brings years of fixed incomes and rapid inflation; illness and inability to take care of oneself. Middle-aged families are being pulled by young adult children as well as by their aging parents. They may be quiet years but the quietness often is due to rejection, guilt, and hostility. As the cycle of strained emotions . begins, tensions mount. A/crisis situation is created. Families try to make decisions that will be good for everyone involved. The family doesn't know where to turn for help. Also, a family always helps its own members. If they need outside help, there must be something wrong with the family. . Right? No, this is very wrong. Nearly every family ex­ periences varying levels of stress as they try to deal with aging family members. Nearly every family could benefit from outside help as they experience this stress. In March, the Task Force on Aging held two workshops for families who provide care for older family members. The workshops were well attended. Family members strongly urged more workshops. With this in mind, two ad­ ditional workshops will be held on Monday, May 14, from 9 a.m. u#t 11 a.m. at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County in Woodstock and repeated again on Wednesday, May 16, from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. at McHenry Hospital in Mcltenry for family members who provide home care for an older family member. ' Everyone is invited and en­ couraged to come. Expert guest speakers will talk about emotional support for family members and community resources to aid in elderly care. There is no charge.

It was a pleasure to pack a large carton with baby food, baby soaps, and a large package of diapers. We have learned the new baby has arrived, mother and child doing fine. , * Many additional families asked for help during Holy Week, and FISH helped whenever possible. Ap­ proximately 100 families received emergency help during April. 1 We received a call for help from a couple sleeping in their car. The woman said she would never have believed she would be in such trouble. She has secured a job, and FISH provided food and a motel room to tide them over until her first pay check.

Two families we were able to help in the past came forward this last month offering help to others, now that things have eased for them. TWs is always a great pleasure to FISH > volunteers. FISH has not been the distributing agent for govern­ ment allotments of cheese and butter for sometime. The Illinois Migrant Council took over this assignment, but due to lack of volunteer hdp has had to give up this project. The food is badly needed in our area, but at the present time we do not know ( who will handle it. Please do not i phone FISH as we have no connection with this distribution nor any information at this time. Our FISH pantry has been very efficiently handled by Shiela Grandt for a long time. The calls on thfe pantry have grown each month until it has become a very big undertaking. Mrs. Grandt has donated un­ counted hours of time and effort id turned over part garage for food storage. Now, however, due to reasons of health, Mrs. Grandt can .no longer handle this project. FISH plans to find a new location for the pantry. We are planning to be open a few hours several days a week, and will need volunteers to man the pantry. We hope to have so many volunteers no one person will be asked to donate a lot of time. Can you help this most vital effort? FISH phone 385-0170, P.O.
