Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) has awarded Volunteer Services of Iroquols County a $20,000 grant as part of BCBSIL's $1.5 million COVID-19 Community Collaboration Fund.
" The not for profit agency is excited to be able to assist iroquols County residents that have been affected by the Corona Virus that have been unable to work and support themselves and their families.
BCBSIL selected 75 organizations across Illinois with missions focused on access to care, hunger and shelter to receive $20,000 grants to rapidly help address to the current crisis.
"We know COViD-19 is challenging the resources that allow local organizations to provide a safety net for people most in need," said Steve Hamman, president of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. "While
we continue to help ensure our members have access to the care and coverage they need, these grants allow us to broaden our impact and make a difference in the lives of so many."
