Community Assistance Office - City of Crete

05/20/2026

Dear Crete Community,
I want to share an important update that, due to budget shortfalls, the Community Assistance Office will officially close in June. It has truly been an honor to serve Crete and support so many individuals and families over the years. Thank you for your trust and support.
While the office is closing, help is still available. Please see the graphic below for local organizations and resources that can assist with some of the needs the Community Assistance Office previously helped with.
With gratitude,
Marilyn Schacht
Community Assistance Director
