Palatine Jaycees accept requests for financial aid
The Palatine Jaycees are accepting applications from Palatine residents and local community organizations in need of financial assistance as part of its annual Community Donations Program.
“Historically, these awards have ranged from $100 to $5,000,” said Jackie Butler, chairwoman of the program. “The requests for assistance have been for medical or utility bills, training equipment, housing, clothing, senior citizen assisted living care and many other worthwhile programs. We receive applications from both individuals and groups like Little City and The Bridge.”
Individuals and organizations with specific needs should submit written proposals to the Community Donations Committee for consideration. Include the amount requested with a brief description of the usage for the funds.
Proposals must be received no later than Monday, April 30. Send your request to Palatine Jaycees, Community Donations Committee, PO Box 1517, Palatine, IL 60078-1517, or email your request to info@palatinejaycees.org and place Community Donations Committee in the subject line.
