Lincoln, Ill. – Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) received a $20,000 grant from Ameren Illinois to support the procurement of materials needed for Workcamp for Lincoln that will take place across the community this summer.
As part of a partnership with a national organization called Group Mission Trips, the workcamp will bring youth from across the country to Logan County to complete home repairs for 60 to 70 homes. The focus will be on low-income, veterans and disabled and support local businesses through the purchase of materials at local suppliers.
Homeowners living in Logan County that may qualify for these free home repairs can visit www.capcil.info and click on the Client Kiosk Button to apply. Once the application is received, it will be reviewed for eligibility. Eligible homeowners will then be contacted with next steps.
