The Posen Police Department was recognized at the recent Village Meeting by the Special Olympics Illinois for their outstanding fundraising efforts in 2018. The Posen Police Department raised $6972 in 2018 through the Cop on Top fundraiser held at the Posen Dunkin Donuts this past year as well as the “Five O at the Dirty O” Race event. Nice work by our Posen Police Officers
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Cook County has funds available. The LIHEAP program is fully funded and in need of applicants!
LIHEAP application intake is down 10% in Cook County compared to last year. I am concerned that Cook County residents may believe the funding is unavailable or they believe their utilities have to be disconnected…both of which are untrue.
These funds have to be used before by May 31, 2019.
