Christian Care Awarded 3 Grants

By Pam Hauman

Rock Island, IL – Christian Care was awarded grant funding of $2,000 from the Wilbert and Carol Keppy Charitable Foundation, $1,000 from the Harris Family Charitable Fund at the Community Foundation of the Great River Bend and $1,769 from the Mel McKay Trust. Funds will be used to support the various programs and services provided through Christian Care.

Christian Care is the only homeless men’s shelter in the Illinois Quad-Cities, serving men ages 18+ who are in need of safe shelter, food and clothing. Established in 1916, by founder Guy Rodgers, Christian Care (formerly the Rock Island Rescue Mission) has served our community’s homeless population for over 100 years by transforming the lives of the least, the last and the lost.
