Community Services/Non-Profits in Berwyn, IL

“My Dad served honorably in WWII. A member of "the greatest generation" he was a great man and beloved by many, not only his family but community also.I don't know how I could have gotten through his funeral day without the respect and acknowledgment that came from beyond our family's mourning. The armed servicemen in uniform that saluted his flag draped casket as he was carried past them to his final resting place and their beautiful folding of the flag and presenting it to my Mom was so uniting. It really made one feel that our Country cared for its Servicemen even so many decades later. But most of all I thank Tom Day and his Bugles Across America. The volunteer who came and performed Taps was an excellent musician. That day we were especially blessed as the funeral home had also arranged for the Servicemen I mentioned and they too by chance, planned to play Taps. Our family was so so touched and surprised when Taps was played echo style by the two buglers. That beautiful and well deserved tribute to my father meant the world to my Mom and our family and we speak of it often. Bugles Across America is a wonderful organization with wonderful volunteers that at a very short notice give comfort and inspiration at a time most needed. I support them whole-heartedly.”

“I went in to ask some questions & left with a membership lol. Maritza gave me a lot of useful info; newcomer Jackie gave me a tour & signed me up. They had a Valentine’s Day deal going on so I saved some money. The first time I went in to workout, they had a cart full of bags filled with sweet potatoes. Turns out that was leftover food from their Community Market event for seniors that they have 2x/month. You better believe I took home some sweet potatoes lol.”
