Community Action is celebrating another successful Cheeseburger in Paradise from last month.

The central Illinois non-profit's biggest fundraiser raises money for their entire agency spanning counties from Piatt to Mason. Executive Director Alison Rumer-Gomez says it was a great night that brought supporters from all over their service area together.

Rumler-Gomez calls Cheeseburger in Paradise a critical piece to their operation. She explains the revenue they generate helps them gap-fill as their clients begin to see success in getting out of poverty.

Community Action's annual budget is around $9-million and while only a $20,000 infusion of cash may not seem like much, Rumler-Gomez points out it is a critical piece to their operation.

While the fundraiser is held in Lincoln, Rumler-Gomez stresses the funds raised are used across their service area including in DeWitt, Piatt and Logan Counties. To learn more about Community Action, you can visit capcil.info.
