We have received three grants over the course of the last four months. Each grant will be used to provide more activities and options in the Day Training programs.  

Ameren gave us a $1,000 to be used for our cooking classes. We offer cooking classes 3x per week in our small kitchen. We are teaching the individuals to cook simple foods, understand nutritional content, and healthy choices. The money will be used to purchase food items.

The Community Foundation of Central Illinois also gave us $9,000 for our program "Learning to Serve".  The main goal of the EP!C Learning to Serve program is to assist adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities build life and vocational skills by training them on how to be an effective community volunteer and by providing opportunities to apply learned skills through volunteer service in the community.
