Earlier in May Illinois Treasure Frerichs announced 10 small profits would receive $200 thousand in Charitable Trust Grants. Each non-profit would receive $20 thousand.
The charitable trust grants help nonprofits fulfill their missions to serve people in need by providing housing, food, and workforce and economic development assistance. Night's Shield in West Frankfort was one the recipients who won the award. They were selected from a group of 110 applicants.
Night's Shield is a program helping young people with housing instability. I talked with their executive director Lindsay Jennings about their mission and how winning the award will help them.
