Outreach is very important to a local grassroots nonprofit organization. Presentations on timely environmental topics are one of the tools CARE uses to connect with the Will County community. Our audiences are typically small and very friendly.

CARE occasionally likes to distribute event details or pressing information about the environment in the form of a short flyer or handout. Although we post flyers and handouts on our website, we still depend on using printed materials to reach people who do not have easy access to a computer.

You can use any software you want – if you have the patience, we can use your skills!

To celebrate more than 25 years of environmental work, CARE would like to update their logo for use on their website, social media, letterhead, business cards, and merchandise for fundraising (t-shirts, reusable bags, water bottles, mugs, etc.).

If you have something else in mind, especially if you are required to complete community service hours for credit, by all means bring your ideas to CARE’s attention. We want you to enjoy your time with us because we believe caring for the environment should be a lifelong commitment.
