Mission Statement
The mission of Project NOW, Inc. is to strengthen our region by helping people help themselves and one another. We strive to eliminate the causes of poverty through strategic partnerships and alleviate the negative conditions where poor people live. Our service delivery area includes addressing issues of poverty and aging in Rock Island, Henry, and Mercer Counties in Illinois.
About This Cause
Project NOW is one of over 1000 Community Action Agencies that cover nearly every county in America. Community Action Agencies sprang from the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 officially declaring a War on Poverty. Project NOW provides a broad range of services to help meet basic needs and achieve self-sufficiency. Services include Head Start kindergarten readiness for 200 preschool children; utility assistance for more than 7,000 households; food assistance; homeless services; rent and deposit assistance; eviction diversion; reentry assistance; permanent, safe, affordable housing; emergency needs assistance (dental, car repairs); emergency furnace repair and replacement; and weatherization services. We also provide more than 3,000 seniors with home-delivered meals, congregate meal sites, information and assistance, and door-to-door transportation. The Rock Island Mercer Counties Rural Transit program provides on-demand public transportation for a small fee.
