Six-county agency dedicated to helping low-income residents to host open house and All Kids blitz

[May 08, 2007]  Central Illinois Economic Development Corp. is gearing up for National Community Action Month, an annual observance in May that recognizes the efforts of Community Action agencies to help low-income people. Agencies across the country, including CIEDC, will have events to mark the occasion.

You are invited to attend an open house on May 15 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Community Action Partnership office located at 1800 Fifth St. in Lincoln. As someone who cares about the community, we will feel fortunate to have you in attendance. As part of the open house, we are doing an All Kids blitz to sign up eligible individuals for All Kids health insurance.

Central Illinois Economic Development Corp. has been helping people and changing lives in the six-county service area of Fulton, DeWitt, Logan, Mason, Menard and Piatt counties for many years. We have turned hope into reality for thousands of low-income individuals and families. We have enabled many local residents to help themselves, and, in turn, help others. We take pride in what we do and are honored to celebrate National Community Action Month with the entire community.

Please contact Angelia Hobbs or Kathy Shepherd at 732-2159, ext. 225, if you have any questions. We look forward to your participation.
