Habitat for Humanity Moultrie County is now accepting applications for their 2025 house build. 

“It’s time to get the applications in now if you want to be considered,” said Tara Reed, manager of the Habitat ReStore in Sullivan.

Applications are available at the Restore. Eligible homebuyers must be in need of safe, affordable housing, have a low to moderate income but be able to make affordable mortgage payments, and be willing to partner with Habitat providing “sweat equity” in the building of their new home.

The Sullivan Blue Dolphins swim team, in collaboration with the Sullivan American Legion, had yet another successful annual Swimmers Supporting Soldiers event. The two groups teamed together with the Danville VA Hospital to get supplies and goods to local veterans who need it. This year the swim team collected over 1,200 items for the soldiers.

Mid-Illinois Senior Services and local sponsors Agri-fab and Hydro-Gear of Sullivan assisted in the return of the senior expo, a day long program which offers discounted prices or free options for services and goods to help the Moultrie County seniors and disabled community.

As the time for making New Year’s resolutions is here, the American Red Cross asks you resolve to make a difference and support your community by becoming a volunteer in 2025. 

“We’re seeing both the frequency and intensity of disasters increase across the country and the Red Cross is responding to nearly twice as many large disasters as we did a decade ago to help people. This uptick in responses means we need more volunteers. The need to help has never been greater,” said Catherine Rabenstine, Interim CEO of the Illinois Red Cross.
