It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is right around the corner.  I love holidays as much as the next person, but understand they can be stressful. Extra money is spent on holiday food or gifts, causing financial stress. In addition to that, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the social expectations of friends and family.

To many, the holiday struggles are just a part of life that is dealt with, but to some the struggles are larger than they can handle. So I wanted to take this time to provide everyone with some of the resources available in Grundy County to help you survive the winter and holiday season.
