State Budget Stalemate Causing Problems in Proviso!!!

The State Budget crisis in Springfield has already caused some major problems in Proviso Township. The Proviso Insider has learned that the Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action, Inc. (PLCCA), a non for profit organization that serves low income families in the Proviso area, recently laid off at least 20 employees due to funding sources drying up. Specifically, the Teen Reach program, a very successful program run out of Proviso High Schools, was forced to shut down because funding from the Illinois Department of Human Services was recently cut. If State officials don't get their acts together, further social service organizations will suffer.

PLCCA Celebrates 40 years in business!!!

The Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action (PLCCA), a local non for profit founded by Bishop Claude Porter, will be celebrating 40 years with a big bash at the Chicago Marriott on March 1, 2008. PLCCA serves the poor and underprivileged. Congratulations PLCCA.
