Mission Statement
PROJECT SUCCESS began in 1996 as the brainchild of then Illinois' First Lady Brenda Edgar as a means of creating community programs that would involve families - children and parents working, playing and being together. Programs have changed with the times, but the mission remains the same - to offer activities to strengthen family units. Numerous local organizations, including houses of worship, service and civic organizations, school groups, souts and local businesses - as well as friends, contribute to our programs. Dedicated volunteers make our work possible - and for them - we are most thankful and appreciative.
Description
One of the most visible programs sponsored by Project Success is Hall Twp. Food Pantry. This is a Client-Choice Pantry 0- which means our patrons "shop" with the help of volunteers who serve as personal shoppers. This enables them to select items they like and need rather than being given a pre-packaged box of food. Patrons are allowed to shop once each month and leave the Pantry with over 70 lbs. of food.
To support the Pantry, we plan several fund - and food raisers where the help of volunteers is so important.
