Washington - U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) announced today that Christian Home Care Services, Inc., located in Lebanon, has received a $6,750 grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Rural Development. The funds will be used to improve the roof and heating and cooling systems at the organization, which provides a variety of home care and referral services for the elderly and disabled.
"This funding will help provide services to one of our most vulnerable populations," said Costello. "Accessible medical care improves quality of life and enhances our communities."
