We also are a Local Recipient Organization that is awarded
funds to provide emergency financial assistance to families who seek services
through the Emergency Intervention Program.
Families interested may call our office at (815) 758-3910 and
speak to staff who answers the phone to schedule an appointment. One hour is allowed for an appointment and
during this time it is determined if a family is eligible for financial
assistance and how much we can help with.
Families can only receive assistance through Emergency Intervention once
in a twelve-month period.
