Rock Island, IL – A $5,000 award was granted to the Christian Care Center in Rock Island, IL in support of its case management programming.

“By providing safe shelter, support and resources, Christian Care empowers the homeless to make positive changes in every aspect of their lives.” Case management is provided to every resident to assist them in operating at an optimal level of daily functioning, creating new values and attitudes, mastering life skills and enhancing their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence.

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.
