Proviso Social Service Agencies Receive Funds and Face Masks
​
Mental Health Commission distributes $25k and 3,750 face masks

 HILLSIDE, Illinois – The Proviso Township Mental Health Commission (PTMHC) announced today that they have distributed $25,000 in emergency grants for seven residential social service programs in Proviso Township and distributed 3,750 facemasks to those same programs. The infusion of money and personal protective equipment comes at a vital moment when residential programs are feeling the sting of reduced fundraising revenue and ballooning costs from the coronavirus pandemic.
​
“Many of the organizations that the PTMHC supports have residential components to them which have had their own unique set of problems arise in the light of the pandemic,” said PTMHC Board President Mike Corrigan. “These are individuals providing critical services to the most vulnerable people in our community and they need additional help in this time of crisis. We are happy to be able to provide this additional support.”
To Proviso Township residents,

The health & wellbeing of our staff and the Proviso Township residents that we serve is our first priority.  Due to the growing concern around Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are taking all the CDC and IDPH recommendations and precautions to prevent the transmission to ensure safety in all our facilities.

For that reason, all Proviso Township offices will be closed to the public through Thursday, April 30, 2020.  We will be available on a limited basis to answer phone calls between 9am - 12pm Monday thru Friday. 

We appreciate your patience during these uncertain times. If we have changes to our scheduling, we will continue to keep you informed.
