Marcfirst supports people with developmental disabilities and families in McLean County Illinois with opportunities to reach their full potential through a lifetime of meaningful services. Marcfirst provides a continuum of services and supports for families, children and adults throughout their lifetime including residential, vocational development, employment, high school transition and therapeutic supports for children including the SPICE pediatric therapy services that is a program near and dear to my heart and our community. However, this program is severely underfunded with nearly 200 families in McLean County in 2017 were not able to receive the vital supports for their children because of long wait lists and resource availability. Our goal is to help ensure that every child that needs SPICE service receives such services.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about SPICE and Marcfirst: <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marcfirst.org%2Fspice.html%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR081j0tBrBEt43KOgAi-7WInVCfCyJRdbXjmdYtPuAr5MkyovRIrghvtFg&amp;h=AT1laFBXThEhSdY-OnL9fNuM6wrGJpf7yDyw9TRPV4pvHWI49kxJwpp0OvsyHOyupCvYO4sYKmHnrd8F6gtlJnLH-T17jswTVcVmR91Sw3xqCpBe7uhDpvTQUvQalnzyYQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-lynx-mode=\"hover\">https:\/\/www.marcfirst.org\/spice.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our Amazing Venue:<\/p>\n<p>Epiphany Farms Hospitality Group in Historic Downtown Bloomington is the place to be on March 7th 2020.
