WOOD RIVER A state grant for nearly half a million dollars will be used by Riverbend Family Ministries (RFM) to more than triple its size.
State officials on Thursday announced RFM will receive a Rebuild Illinois grant of $493,892 to help it move across the street from the current 7,000-square-foot building at 133 E. Ferguson Ave. in Wood River to a 24,000-square-foot building at 144 E. Ferguson Ave. formerly occupied by TR’s Café.

With the announcement of a nearly half-million dollar Rebuild Illinois Shovel Ready Site grant, the move of Riverbend Family Ministries into a larger space is about to pick up steam. The plan to move to a larger location across the street at the former Madison’s Tea Room, on E. Ferguson Avenue in Wood River should resume in about a month.
Only 11 projects around the state were selected to be grant awardees. RFM founder and Executive Director Tammy Iskarous tells The Big Z this will enable them to expand their ability to serve.
