SPRINGFIELD
– The Serve Illinois Commission is pleased to announce it is now
accepting applications for the Governor’s Hometown Awards program.
The program gives formal recognition to those who contributed to
their community’s quality of life through projects that have strong
volunteer support, meet a need, and make a definitive impact.

Serve Illinois, the Governor’s Commission on
Volunteerism and Community Service, is excited to be able to tie the
Governor’s Hometown Awards to its mission to improve Illinois
communities by enhancing volunteerism and instilling an ethic of
service throughout the state. Adding the Governor’s Hometown Awards,
which recognizes community projects, to Serve Illinois’ existing
Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards, which recognizes individual
volunteer efforts, will only strengthen volunteer recognition
throughout Illinois.
Interested townships, villages, cities, and counties can apply now
through August 1, 2017 for projects that use volunteers in their
communities for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31,
2016. For additional information regarding program criteria and the
application process, please visit www.Serve. Illinois.gov.
