When McDonald's is in the building, we know we're going to get things done. Last week, 100 volunteers from the McDonald's Corporation joined us for a day of beautifying our building, connecting with participants, and celebrating our mission. All their hard work led to one of the most impactful days of the year, instantly transforming the lives of our participants for the better. Better still, the volunteer day lined up perfectly with the kickoff of Hispanic Heritage Month, adding an extra layer of fun and pride to our projects. Our volunteers divided and conquered all over the House. One team assembled our New Moms Room, a brand-new space for nursing moms to find privacy and comfort when they need it. Another attended a Mental Health First Aid training seminar and certification class, giving themselves the confidence needed to safely intervene in a mental health crisis. Elsewhere, volunteers spent quality time with our Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) participants for a painting lesson! Together, our participants and volunteers let out their inner artist and helped our PSR group work on developing new human connections. Some masterpieces were made in the process! And in one of the largest projects of the day, one of our volunteer teams led an overhaul of our Dulcinea residence, a group home for participants working to develop social skills and gain independence. We brought in brand-new dressers, pillows and bedsheets, personal TVs, and let each participant choose a new color for their walls. Our volunteers built furniture sets, hauled them up and down stairs, and decorated with love. Our participants could feel the love in their new rooms and couldn't wait to show them off! We can't thank our volunteers enough for their dedication and hope to see them again next year! Check out our reel showing off everything our teams accomplished below.

Association House is a big place, full of friendly faces working hard to make sure our services are as top-notch as our community has come to expect! Today, we're highlighting one of the newest additions to our amazing staff: Olivia Paredes , our Salesforce Data Administrator ! With her help, our staff spends less time on paperwork, and more time providing hands-on support in the neighborhood. We're thrilled to have her on our team! Tell us about yourself and what brought you to Association House! I’m originally from Toledo, Ohio, and I completed my undergrad at Bowling Green State University. I’m currently finishing my grad program at the University of Cincinnati, so I’m almost done with that journey! I moved to Chicago this past winter, and I’m still getting to know the city—so I’m definitely taking recommendations for the best tacos, sushi, pizza, and happy hour spots! Where have you worked previously? What do you think you've learned that you'll bring to AHC? This is actually my third time working at a nonprofit. Previously, I worked at Samaritans, a suicide prevention nonprofit, and at ProMedica Philanthropy, a hospital system that operates in southern Michigan and northern Ohio. From those experiences, I learned how to engage with a wide variety of departments and gained a better understanding of their unique needs, which I’m excited to bring to Association House. Tell us about your day-to-day in your position. Right now, I’m still in the learning phase, familiarizing myself with the systems in place here. My role will require me to get to know the goals and needs of Association House’s staff, and I’m excited to start meeting with each department to design solutions that best fit those needs. I’ll also be assessing our Salesforce instance to evaluate the current data, automation, and reporting capabilities. Eventually, I’ll be responsible for ensuring the information we collect is accurate and making workflows more efficient to simplify the processes for the staff. What are you looking forward to at Association House? I’m really looking forward to making life easier for those who work in the field. One of my goals is to make our data more accurate and, ideally, present it in a visually appealing way that’s easy to interpret. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? In my free time, I enjoy running, and I’m currently training for a marathon. I’m also fundraising for a nonprofit, which has been a rewarding experience. Beyond that, I love exploring the city of Chicago, visiting art galleries, spending time at the lake, and finding great spots to read and write. -- Want to join our amazing staff of changemakers?

After breathing problems landed him in a nursing home in 2023, Floyd Cummings was enthusiastic about regaining his independence when approached by the Comprehensive Class Member Transition Program (CCMTP) at Association House. Designed to relocate people who've been wrongfully placed in restrictive care environments, CCMTP gave Floyd a chance at a new chapter. Soon after he connected with the House, he relocated to a newly constructed supportive living community in Bridgeport, excited to have his own space to read, relax, and see more of the city. However, after completing a long-term prison sentence just a few years prior, he was disconnected from his family and unsure how to begin reaching out.   When Association House decided to share some inspiring stories from the program, Floyd's unique journey was an obvious contender. In his thirties, while serving time at the Stateville Correctional Center, he led an impressive career as a professional boxer, facing off against heavyweight champs like Joe Frazier and Frank Bruno. Floyd agreed to a video interview for the Association House TikTok , where his stories and advice were warmly received.   Then, something unexpected happened: Floyd's nephew stumbled across the TikTok video and recognized his uncle. He commented right away and reached out to Association House hoping to reconnect. Soon enough, Floyd and his family were reunited-- able to catch up and bring Floyd back into their lives. With help from his case workers at Association House, he was able to take a trip to Indianapolis for a proper family visit. "I'm not too good of a talker, but we just laid around the house, ate a lot, got fat," Floyd says with a smile. "I can't explain the feeling, but it was there." Back home in Chicago, Association House was able to help Floyd achieve another major milestone: a cataracts surgery that had kept Floyd from some of his favorite hobbies. His vision had declined significantly during his nursing home stay, but he was finally able to get a corrective procedure scheduled once he'd secured his new home. Now at the end of his recovery time, he's back to reading the Dean Koontz books he loves. And, with a voice recorder gifted by Association House, he's spending some time retelling the stories of his life in hopes that one day they might be transformed into an autobiography. With his eyesight improved, he says he's mostly inclined to stay home and relax. "They're trying to get me to go to a ball game, but I'm not going to no ball game... when I was young, maybe, but we don't have front row seats! We gotta go way up in the bleachers? I ain't like that," Floyd says with a laugh. "It's VIP or nothing!" Through social media, decades of isolation and disconnection were no longer an obstacle. Now, a new chapter of Floyd's life can truly begin. -- Read more about Association House's Community Transitions program and its impact at https://www.associationhouse.org/case-management .
