For the last few months, ICF has been working in partnership with Integrate for Good, a satellite program of Access Services, Inc.. Several individuals from our Day Services program are making sleeping mats for homeless people and recently took part in an activity at Lower Providence Community Library. The mats, when completed, will be given to organizations who will distribute them.
