Christian Care Receives Grant

Scott County Regional Authority Supports Domestic Violence Shelter and Rescue Mission

Rock Island, IL - The Scott County Regional Authority (SCRA) will help Christian Care, Rock Island, Ill., increase security at its Domestic Violence Shelter and Rescue Mission by awarding Christian Care with a $7,000 grant to purchase additional cameras.

Additional security cameras at both facilities will help with safety, security, deterrence and follow-up investigations. Having more cameras trained on strategic areas will protect everyone who comes into Christian Care's facilities?especially residents who need a safe and secure environment as they work through the process of transforming their lives.

Christian Care is transforming the lives of homeless individuals, victims of domestic violence, veterans, men and women coming out of prison, and the mentally ill. Its two facilities?a rescue mission for homeless men and a domestic violence shelter for abused women and children?provide safe shelter, nutritious meals, clothing, counseling, referral and guidance to those in need. Christian Care's services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the goal of nourishing bodies, minds, hearts, and souls of the men, women and children who come seeking a new way of life. For more information, contact Christian Care at (309) 788-2273 or visit online at christiancareqc.org.
