County Prestress & Precast partners with HOPE of East Central Illinois to empower survivors of domestic assault to live independent, non-violent lives through the provisions of Housing, Outreach, Prevention, and Education. HOPE was founded by a domestic abuse survivor who saw a need and gained support from community partners to establish a small shelter in a two-bedroom apartment. Since then, HOPE of ECI has grown to offer a 24-bed shelter, five transitional housing units, and a 24/7 crisis hotline. The organization serves seven rural counties in Central Illinois, providing education, group and individual counseling, referrals, and children’s services, such as a therapeutic summer recreation program.
County Prestress & Precast partners with local organizations through the Sonnentag American Foundation. The Foundation aligns support with four key service areas: Hunger & Homelessness Support, Service Members & Veterans Support, Sexual Abuse & Domestic Assault Services, and Mentoring & Skills Building.
