MACOMB The boards of the Western Illinois Regional Council and its Community Action Agency were told this week about the number of programs and grants available to thousands of people in McDonough, Warren, Hancock, Henderson, and Knox counties.
Director Tracy Camden said 1,900 households were funded through the LIHEAP program, and 20 of the homes had their furnaces repaired or replaced in 2020. She said 50 homes received weatherization grants and the CAA also received $1.75 million in housing rehabilitation grants.
Camden said member counties received 6,700 pounds of deer meat from the Hunters Helping the Hungry program, and that 397 children received gifts through Project Santa. She said WIRC Victim Services provided 1,800 programs on domestic violence and 6,000 programs and counseling sessions on sexual assault.
