Why COMMUNITY SUPPORT matters
Your Support Creates Possibility
Poverty can affect every part of a person’s life—from a family’s ability to keep the lights on or remain safely housed, to a child’s readiness for school, to an older adult’s ability to remain connected and nourished at home.
Project NOW brings services together so that neighbors do not have to navigate hardship alone. Your support helps strengthen pathways to stability, dignity, and hope for people throughout Rock Island, Henry, and Mercer Counties.
Your support helps provide timely assistance with food, utilities, transportation and other essential needs.
