What A Wonderful Senior Citizen Day!

On August 14th, 2026 we hosted our 9th Annual Proviso Township Senior Citizen Day.


We had an amazing time celebrating our incredible seniors! It brings us such joy seeing everyone happy, dancing, singing and coming together. We are so grateful to have your support!


Thank you to our Sponsors for their generosity and helping us show how we appreciate the pillars of our community! We couldn’t have done this without the support of Abcor Home Health – 5680 S Archer Ave Chicago, Chicago Security Professionals, Connie’s Catering and Events, Torres of Berkeley, Alpha and Omega Outreach Ministries, Lyons Club of Westchester, Chick-fil-A of Broadview, Costco of Melrose Park, Five Below of Hillside, Sam’s Club of Northlake, Pastor John Harrell, Target of Hillside, The Home Depot of Broadview and Northlake. 

Also, a very special thank you to all our volunteers from Help at Home and Concordia University, and all of our vendors that provided valuable information and resources. We appreciate Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, Emmanuel “Chris” Welch for stopping by and thank you to all the Township staff and their families. Last but not least, thank you to our entertainment, The Moods and DJ Dave from EM DJs. You kept everyone dancing to your great music!

 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and we hope to see you next year!

Proviso Township Overview

Founded in 1850 as Taylor Township, after US President General Zachary Taylor, and later renamed Proviso Township after the Wilmont Proviso, a piece of legislation that was proposed to stop the spread of slavery into the gained territory from Mexico. Empowered by our rich history we are the proud home of 14 villages: Bellwood, Berkeley, Broadview, Brookfield, Forest Park, Hillside, La Grange Park, Maywood, Melrose Park, Northlake, North Riverside, Stone Park, Westchester and Western Springs with now approximately 145,000 residents. The township looks to empower individuals and families by providing a wide range of services that enhance their lives.

We also collaborate with local community organizations that protect the health, safety, and general welfare of all township residents. With 79 staff members we help with property tax appeals and exemptions, we have dedicated staff that help the youth and children of our community with different services, and additionally we ensure that our senior citizens have access to reliable transportation, a handyman program and a series of engaging programming and assistance. Please stop by and visit our main office and get to know your township staff. 

Total Operating Budget: $13,337,012
