We have something exciting to share!
Our 5th annual golf outing is on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. To honor all those that gave unselfishly that horrific day we are doing a drawing in June, July and August.

You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself.

Did you know that PTSD affects about 5% of the general U.S. population, which means roughly 13 million Americans are living with this condition? The CIVC
is encouraging everyone to take this month to raise awareness, break the silence, and foster compassionate conversations about mental health.

Support our Veterans and active military members by reaching out, educating ourselves on the signs of PTSD, and sharing resources.

If you or a Veteran you know is struggling, the Veterans Crisis Line offers immediate help:
Dial **988**, then press **1**, or text **838255**.

Not all wounds are visible.

Many thanks to Menard Electric Cooperative and CoBank matching funds for their very generous donations. With their combined donation equaling $15,000, the CIVC can continue the mission to alleviate veteran homelessness one tiny home at a time.
