At Franks Gerkin Ponitz Greeley, we have strong family ties to Marengo, Illinois and to the greater McHenry County area. Because of our deep roots in the area, we are that much more passionate about serving the people here in this Northern Illinois community. And we take the time to give back to our community in more ways than one.
We recently took time to support our troops by sponsoring care packages with a local Crystal Lake Cub Scouts’ troupe. Click here to read more about that effort.
