WHAT WE DO
The Assyrian National Council of Illinois started as an idea from the Chicago Mayor in 1983 and was later established and funded in 1985. Originally, the Assyrian National Council of Illinois was created to give our Assyrian people residing in Chicago a home that offered them support and comfort. As the years went on, the Home Care program was established and ever since we have been able to create more services and resources for our Assyrian Community. Services such as Home Care, Urnina Banquet, Assyrian School, and Kiddie Kollege, were funded and established. Our services are not only for our beloved community, but our doors have also been open to our fellow non-Assyrian neighbors.
Home Care
Our In-Home Service Program is a non-medical support service provided by well-trained and supervised aides to assist feeble seniors in their homes.
