Making Healthy Choices!
Thanks to Peoria Home volunteer, Mary Sue, our residents are learning to look at healthier food options when grocery shopping and meal planning. Together, they have whipped up a baked chicken with veggies, new potatoes and meatloaf with a salad. More recently, they made their first yummy batch of banana bread and homemade veggie burgers – all using healthier ingredients!
If you have been cleared as a volunteer, we could really use some help right now.

Thank you so much for the addition at #PeoriaHome, Pat! It's looking good and understood. This is a wonderful job! It's the little things that turn into the biggest joyful and thankful things in our hearts.
It is not easy for youth to get away from their trafficker. The trafficker controls them through threats, physical abuse, or intimidation. By nature, traffickers are predators and will say anything to lure the youth. Common signs to be aware of:
- You may notice that the youth often asks you to take care of things to get them out of routine, they may be anxious and fearful.
- They may seem possessive of their cell phones and make excuses if asked who they are calling or what they are doing on their phone.
- They may have new clothing, jewelry, or cell phones that they cannot afford.
- They may have unexplained injuries such as bruises, scratches, and black eyes.
- They have a new boyfriend or girlfriend who appears much older than the youth.
- They may express fear about a certain situation or person in which you can't provide help, but you can call 911 if it's life-threatening."
