Fuel the Mission: Support CIRC’s 2026 Impact Fund

Every blanket distributed, every mental health kit handed out, every family fed — it all starts here.

Central Illinois Resource Center Inc. (CIRC) is on the frontlines of mental health advocacy, homelessness response, and food insecurity relief across Central Illinois. Our work doesn’t stop when one campaign ends; it’s year-round, boots-on-the-ground, and fueled by people like you who believe in building a stronger, safer, and more compassionate community.

The 2026 Impact Fund is our organization’s backbone. It powers the programs and rapid response efforts that keep individuals and families from falling through the cracks. Your support enables us to:

• 🧠 Host mental health awareness events and distribute educational resources across multiple counties.

• 🏠 Provide emergency outreach, motel nights, and basic survival supplies to unhoused individuals during extreme weather.

• 🥫 Run community food distributions, support pantry partnerships, and ensure families have consistent access to food.

• 📢 Lead community town halls, legal rights events, and resource fairs that bring leaders, organizations, and residents together for real change.

• ⚡ Respond quickly to emerging community needs — without waiting on slow grants or red tape.

Unlike restricted project grants, the Impact Fund gives us flexibility — the power to respond to crises, fill gaps, and keep operations strong behind the scenes. This includes everything from outreach logistics and transportation to volunteer training, supply storage, and building capacity for larger advocacy efforts.

Your donation isn’t just funding a program — it’s fueling the mission itself. It’s what allows CIRC to pivot when emergencies strike, grow our reach, and sustain our work across mental health, homelessness, and hunger.

💙 Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation, your support makes you part of the backbone of community care in Central Illinois.

Together, we can build a year of impact, resilience, and change.
