Northbrook issues 14 proclamations; Northfield Township marks 175 years and readies new food pantry
Summary
The village issued 14 proclamations recognizing Earth Day and multiple awareness months, celebrated the Northbrook Chamber's 75th anniversary and heard Northfield Township announce a new food pantry opening May 1 with a ribbon cutting on June 17.
The Village of Northbrook presented 14 proclamations and community recognitions at the meeting, including observances for Earth Day, Police Week (May 10'''''''''''May 10'May 17), Peace Officers Memorial Day (May 15), Drinking Water Week (May 4'May 10), Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, National Bike Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, and Older Americans Month.
The board recognized community organizations and milestones: the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce and Industry on its 75th anniversary; Greenbrier School (noting a recent referendum and planned additions); and local businesses expanding or opening, including Bean Bar and Landmark on the Hill.
Northfield Township supervisor Shiva Mohsen (remarks in transcript) described the township's role as an older form of government and said Northfield Township's new food pantry will have a soft opening May 1 and a ribbon cutting on June 17. He said the township serves as a social safety net and provides assessor and road-district services in unincorporated areas.
Mental health recognition: Cynthia Plazas and the police department's counseling services were acknowledged for crisis response work; the village said two counselor positions were added during the COVID-19 period and that the department provides four full-time counselors.
Why it matters: The proclamations highlight ongoing local initiatives, partnerships and services; the township's new food pantry and expanded social services are community-level developments with forthcoming public access dates.
