We enjoyed hosting the GiGi's Playhouse Quad Cities Achievers program in the ICC kitchen yesterday! Our combined groups made a healthy fruit salad snack and created a selfie scrapbook page while discussing the topic of "Love Yourself(ie)"!

Very hungry caterpillars 🐛
09/28/2025
Over the past few weeks, we have enjoyed hosting some Monarch caterpillars on their amazing transformation into Monarch butterflies! We have released one Monarch thus far (a female). We look forward to watching the remaining four, which are in various stages of the transformation. You may notice our caterpillars are not eating milkweed! It has been provided to them, but they prefer the English ivy!! 🦋
Thanks so much to Erin Gapinski for providing the caterpillars and the amazing habitat. 🙂

We are well-supported by a generous community!
As we prepare for the Big Buckle Barn Dance FUNdraiser on October, 11, many
organizations and individuals have come forward to celebrate the event and sponsor ICC’s ongoing operation and growth.
Today we holler a big YEEHAW for Farmers National Bank, one of our BRASS BUCKLE sponsors, for their $1,000 donation. THANK YOU for your kindness and generosity.
This contribution is enough to fund our Sharing Sweetness efforts, where ICC participants get to experience the joy of being radically kind to others in the community by making and delivering treats, buying a round of coffee, or choosing and delivering gifts. People often shower us with surprises, and our participants relish the opportunity to return such blessings!

INSPIRE Continuing Care . . . our vision and purpose:
INSPIRE Continuing Care will exist to provide an opportunity for post-high school young adults with unique qualifications* to gather during the daytime with supervision, to ensure their continuing access to social, emotional and physical enrichment and well-being. Some of our activities may include:
Regular field trips in Geneseo and the QCA (festivals, museums, convention center activities, libraries, retail stores, restaurants, etc)
Cooking (plan/shop/prepare a dinner to bring home "ready to bake" for your family to enjoy once a week)
Discover, learn about and participate in local current events
Recreational exercise activities (walks, community center, etc)
Entertainment (movies, videos, music)
Fine Arts (art, music, theater)
Community service opportunities (pet-walking service, newspaper delivery, shopping/errand service)
* “unique qualifications” may include but are not limited to requiring assisted communication methods and devices, assistance with mobility, feeding and/or personal care.
Note: There are some existing and developing programs in Henry County that provide opportunities for young adults who are able to work in a "sheltered workshop" environment. Those programs do not necessarily meet the needs of some young adults who require more assistance when participating in activities due to complex physical and/or communication needs. ICC’s intent is NOT to "compete" with a service currently being provided or developed.
