Rock Island, IL - The Foundation for TJX Companies, Inc., one of the leading off-price retailers of apparel and home fashions in the U.S. and worldwide and owner of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, provided Christian Care with a $5,000 grant to support its rescue mission and domestic violence shelter.
"We are tremendously grateful for the support that the TJX Foundation has given Christian Care," said Elaine Winter, Christian Care's Chief Executive Officer. "This funding will help us provide shelter and food for so many individuals in the Quad Cities. Last year, for example, we sheltered nearly 230 men, women and children and provided nearly 60,000 meals. With the changing seasons, we expect that the need for food and shelter in our community will be even greater, so this funding is arriving at a good time."
Christian Care is transforming the lives of homeless individuals, victims of domestic violence, veterans, men and women coming out of prison, and those with mental illness. Its two facilities?a domestic violence shelter for abused women and children and a rescue mission for homeless men?provide safe shelter, nutritious meals, clothing, counseling, self-development programs, referrals and guidance to those in need. Its services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the goal of nourishing the bodies, minds, hearts and souls of the men, women and children who come seeking a new way of life. If you know someone in need, call the Christian Care crisis hotline any hour of the day or night at (309) 788-2273.
