QUAD CITIES, IA -Jaycees of the Quad Cities, a young professionals service organization shopped for a cause on Tuesday, December 2 in honor of Giving Tuesday. $8,000 was invested in nearly 100 local individuals, families, teens, seniors, and organizations.
Proceeds from the Jaycees events support this annual effort. This year was one of the largest yet.
More than 30 members assisted these great local agencies including Family Resources, Humility of Mary Housing, Center for Active Seniors and Winne's Place. These agencies were chosen based on their mission to support at-risk populations including teens, seniors and youth.
"Community needs are great but this year in particular Illinois based agencies are being hit hard with the budget impasse," said Jennifer Kincaid, President.
