Every day, people in our community face personal and social crises including homelessness, hunger, limited educational supports, and challenges in accessing quality health care. For nearly 100 years, United Way and its partners have worked together to tackle tough problems like these.
At the start of last year, we had no idea how the year would unfold. Yet, through the pandemic we demonstrated our ability to come together when it counts most, and thanks to your support we were able to help the most vulnerable among us.
When the pandemic upended our lives, we partnered with The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln to launch the COVID-19 Response Fund. Together, we distributed more than $905,000 in emergency funding to 80 local organizations. In turn, these organizations used those funds to directly distribute food and PPE to dozens of other organizations and to the public. We are incredibly thankful to the generous donors of our COVID-19 Response Fund

The Illinois State Board of Education unanimously approved a motion Wednesday to return all public schools in the state of Illinois to in-person learning at the beginning of the 2021-22 school year as COVID-19 recedes.
The resolution states that due to progress with limiting cases and administering COVID-19 vaccines to people 12 years old and above, in addition to available tests from the University of Illinois SHIELD program and Abbott Pharmaceuticals, the time had come to return students to full in-person learning when the next school year begins.
Students not yet eligible for a vaccine who are also under a quarantine order are exempt from the order.
