💙 58 Years. $58. Countless Lives Changed.

As Project NOW celebrates 58 years of Community Action, we invite you to make a commemorative gift of $58 in honor of the thousands of neighbors who have walked through our doors seeking support, stability, and hope.

Your gift helps provide essential services that can mean the difference between a family keeping the lights on, a senior receiving nutritious meals, or a neighbor finding safe and stable housing.

For 58 years, our community has come together to ensure that no one has to face hardship alone. Today, you can be part of that legacy.

Make your gift of $58 and help us continue walking alongside families across Henry County, Mercer County, and Rock Island County. https://secure.everyaction.com/RfinE7pW70SXOylm9_ul8Q2

Every step forward begins with support from neighbors like you.
