JoAnne’s dedication to her community and Illinois Valley Industries helped shape IVI into the organization we are today.

✨ Yesterday was such a fun day in Ottawa! Our group enjoyed some time at the park and made a stop at Jeremiah Joe Coffee downtown. We were blown away by their generosity and kindness — they surprised us with free coffee and even sang Happy Birthday to our friends Callie and Rebecca! 🎉☕️💛

Moments like these remind us how lucky we are to be surrounded by such caring communities. Thank you, Jeremiah Joe’s, for making the day extra special. Until next time!
