PROGRAM ASSIST
Supporting initiatives that make a difference
From providing funds to transport kids to perform at the Illinois State Fair to the installation of a solar array to help defray utility costs at a county-owned nursing home, Program Assist has provided funding to a vast range of projects with one trait in common, the ability to make a difference in the lives of individuals in Northwest Illinois.
