About Us

At SAL Community Services (SAL), we provide Support, Advocacy, and Learning in our communities—from childhood to adulthood. Our mission is to strengthen children, families, and individuals to build and enhance thriving communities.

Founded in 1970, we have a history of listening to the needs of our community and responding. We have grown from an organization focused on providing quality child care to low-income working families to one that meets a wide variety of needs from early care and education; child care resource and referral; early childhood workforce training and development; and stabilization services.

Today, SAL has a bi-state, 17-county regional footprint from the Quad Cities to Central Illinois- including tge greater Peoria area. We advocate with and for the people we support, the communities we serve, and the solutions we champion, and we offer an inclusive, welcoming community for the people we serve—and our employees.
