Rock Island - The Doris & Victor Day Foundation has awarded a $2,500 grant
for Christian Care's Community Meal Site in Rock Island. "Christian Care greatly
appreciates the Doris & Victor Day Foundation for its support of our Community Meal
Site that serves thousands of homeless men, women and children every year," said
Dr. Elaine Winter, the organization's Executive Director. "Our Community Meal Site has
already served 15 percent more meals in 2012 than in 2011. Funding from the Doris &
Victor Day Foundation will positively impact Christian Care?as well as our community."
