85 Chicago Bears
help HCS Family Services celebrate 85 years
By HM Staff
HCS Family Services celebrated its 85th birthday with members of the ’85 Superbowl Champion Chicago Bears. Kurt Becker, Mike Hartenstein, Emory Moorehead, Jim Morrissey, and Otis Wilson visited with neighbors during pantry distribution and then joined neighbors, volunteers, friends, donors and partners for birthday cake on the patio of Memorial Hall. Founded in 1937 to provide medical and employment assistance to community members, HCS currently serves groceries to over 300 families per week from our pantries in Hinsdale and Anne M. Jeans Elementary School in Willowbrook.

![Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
