The Children's Advocacy Center is celebrating receiving a grant that is going to allow them to expand their services and improve their facilities. Executive Director Judy Brucker indicates it is a huge victory for their organization.
According to Brucker, the grant allows them to provide more resources for parents in a difficult situation. She notes the grant allows to the cover DeWitt and Livingston Counties in addition to the main office in McLean County.
The Children's Advocacy Center could not survive without grants which makes the grant a huge victory for their office.
Brucker notes the grant is likely for a minimum of three years, though they will have to re-apply each year, she hopes to get those positions hired soon and begin their expansion.
