Every day in Central Illinois, someone reaches a breaking point.

A senior sits alone with an empty fridge.

A parent chooses between gas for work or food for their kids.

A teen struggles through a mental-health crisis with no one to talk to.

A family faces a disconnect notice and has no idea where to turn.

And far too often, they’re facing these moments alone.

Central Illinois Resource Center was created to change that.

We show up with emergency care kits, mental-health support, food resources, crisis guidance, and real humans who listen, advocate, and make sure no one slips through the cracks. Our work is immediate. It’s hands-on. It’s life-changing.

But we can’t do it without community behind us.

That’s why we’re launching The CIRC Impact Challenge — a 10-day, community-powered fundraiser where compassionate people across Illinois step up as Ambassadors to help us reach families, seniors, and individuals in crisis.

Our goal is simple:

Help as many people as possible, as fast as possible.

Your donation today helps us:

Provide emergency care kits to families and individuals in crisis
Support our community mental-health peer line
Deliver food and essentials to seniors and people experiencing homelessness
Fund urgent outreach and crisis support across Central Illinois
Expand our ability to answer the next call for help — the one that can’t wait

When you give to this campaign, you’re not just making a donation.

You are directly impacting someone’s life in the moment they need it most.

Because every $10, $25, or $50 gift becomes something real — a warm meal, a safe night, a support call answered, a care kit delivered, a family stabilized.

And every ambassador who shares this challenge brings that impact further.

We can’t stop every crisis.

But together, we can make sure no one faces it alone.

Join us.

Donate today.

Be the impact.

The CIRC Impact Challenge starts now — and every dollar truly matters
