May is National Community Action Month, and the organization is highlighting its central Illinois locations and services.
Breann Titus, Chief Visionary Officer for Community Action, explains that in their service area, they work with around 4,000 families who often receive more than one service. While that number is very impactful in central Illinois, she says it is a small part of the work that is being done on a national scale.
To honor and showcase the work they are doing locally, CAPCIL is hosting open houses at each of its locations in the six-county area they cover. The first will be today at the Clinton location from 4 to 6 PM.
On Wednesday, an open house will be hosted at CAPCIL's central office in Lincoln, and Titus says representatives from Ameren will be present to talk about clean energy programs and offer free energy kits.
These events will be taking place all across central Illinois, and Titus says the purpose is to bring awareness to the wide scope of their offerings from the Head Start Program to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Learn more at capcil.info or by finding them on Facebook.
