LINCOLN
- As the weather is gearing up this summer we hope that everyone
will stay safe and cool. It has come to The Christian Village’s
attention that the Summer Cooling Program with Community Action has
been terminated due to lack of funding. Given the continued need in
the community The Christian Village will be hosting a fan drive for
the month of July. They ask that only new boxed fans are purchased
for this event. Fans can be brought to The Christian Village main
entrance located at 1507 7th Street here in Lincoln. Time for drop
offs are M-F 9am-5pm. All fans will be taken to Community Action for
them to disperse as needed.
Breann Titus, Community Action states, “For the last two years, the
Illinois Department of Commerce has not administered the Summer
Cooling Program, therefore no funding is available to CAPCIL to
provide energy assistance over the hot summer months. Having the
ability to be able to provide a fan to a customer in need would keep
more people in their own homes cool during the summer months and
help them be less susceptible to heat related illnesses. We are so
thankful to organizations like The Christian Village, who continue
to partner with CAPCIL for the good of the community!”
