Testimonials

Intonation Music

The Service Club supported Intonation Music with funding to upgrade our office technology, which was in dire condition. The purchase of new computers has been transformational and critical to every need we have–be it communication with our students, partners, parents, completing payroll, or writing grants. We are so grateful for the support!

CANINE THERAPY CORPS

Our camp is for children with physical disabilities who are participating in physical therapy, and takes place in July and August, when summer is typically hottest. Without the fan Service Club of Chicago purchased for us, the heat would have made it impossible to host these wonderful kids at our facility. Thanks to the fan, everyone had a wonderful time… Read more “CANINE THERAPY CORPS”

© 2021 The Service Club of Chicago

The Service Club of Chicago was saddened and shocked by the events of Wednesday inside our nation’s Capitol. We offer our prayers for all of those who perished or were injured. We do not condone violence, destruction or illegal activities of any sort. For 131 years, The Service Club of Chicago has included members of all political affiliations, all creeds and colors. Our diversity is what makes our nation and our Club great. Any of our members who may have been present in Washington Wednesday do not in any way reflect the mission of our organization which is that “…no one is greater than the service she renders the world”.
