Central Illinois Foodbank Get Boost from AT&TTen thousand dollars from AT&T will immediately help the Central Illinois Foodbank buy much needed food and resources benefiting children, adults and seniors who are struggling to make ends meet during this challenging time.

AT&T’s $10,000 contribution to the foodbank will provide a boost to the nonprofit, which serves 21 area counties. “We deeply appreciate AT&T stepping

up to help local families during this difficult time,” said Central Illinois Foodbank Executive Director Pam Molitoris. “The Foodbank has seen a substantial increase in requests for food as economic hardships have forced many into our food lines – often for the very first time.”

According to the Foodbank, in its service area, which includes Springfield, Quincy, Jacksonville, Lincoln, Carlinville, Decatur and Taylorville, nearly 100,000 people don’t know where their next meal will come from, and one in six children struggle with hunger.

“We’re committed to helping people when they need us most,” said AT&T Illinois President Eileen Mitchell. “The people of AT&T are grateful for the work of the Central Illinois Foodbank and its employees who are working every day to help feed our neighbors in Central Illinois.”

For additional information about the Central Illinois Foodbank, or to make a donation, please go to https://www.centralilfoodbank.org/.

Applications Due Friday, April 17 at 5 p.m.

Small businesses in Morgan County who have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 crisis may be eligible to apply for a grant of up to $25,000 through Illinois’ Downstate Business Stabilization Program.

Because businesses do not apply directly to the state but through a unit of local government, the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce and Jacksonville Regional Economic Development Corporation have partnered with local governments to create a plan and timeline to complete and submit applications.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and its detrimental impact on small businesses, Illinois has reprogrammed $20 million of its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to create this program that supports small businesses in downstate and rural communities. The Downstate Small Business Stabilization Program grants can cover the cost of 60 days of working capital for businesses economically impacted by the COVID-19 virus. The program’s goal is to keep businesses open or assist closed businesses in reopening as soon as possible.

The program is limited to for-profit businesses with 50 or less employees (including the owner). According to rules established by the state, businesses must have been in operation, with the same ownership, since at least January 1, 2017, to qualify. Other reasons businesses are deemed ineligible for the program include:

• Businesses that have both essential and non-essential activities.

• Not-for-profit businesses.• Independent contractors.• Franchises or chain businesses.• Businesses that involve the use of cannabis for medical

and/or recreational purposes are not eligible to apply.• Private club or business that limits membership for

reasons other than capacity.• A business that derives at least 33 percent of its gross

annual revenue from legal gambling activities, unless, subject to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s (DCEO) approval, the business is a restaurant with gaming terminals.

• Business engaged in manufacturing or selling at

wholesale, tobacco products, vaping, liquor or sexually explicit materials or in the business of manufacturing or selling firearms at wholesale or retail.

• Liquor store, adult bookstore, non-therapeutic massage parlor, strip club or nightclub.

• Pawn shop.• Storage facility, trailer-storage yard or junk yard.• A business in which a majority owner or member of the

immediate family is an elected official of the unit of local government making the application and receiving the grant.

Businesses located in Morgan County have until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 17, to complete a two-page form that will serve as a pre-application to determine program eligibility. Named the Uniform Grant Application, the form can be accessed online at https://bit.ly/39Q87ap. Businesses located in the City of Jacksonville should submit their form electronically to Mayor Andy Ezard at mayor@jacksonvilleil.gov, and those businesses located outside of the city but within the county should submit their applications to Morgan County Regional Planner Dusty Douglas at ddouglas@morgancounty-il.com.

It is recommended that applicants review the program Guidebook located on DCEO’s Downstate Small Business Stabilization webpage at https://bit.ly/2UWkOLw. Successful applicants must provide financial information as well as demonstrate hardship, which will be subject to publication as part of the application process. Businesses who do not wish to make their financial information public should not complete an application.

A primary target of the program is businesses considered “non-essential” by the Governor’s Executive Order without the ability for employees to work remotely. However, businesses in “essential” categories who have been unable to stay open might also qualify but will need to explain their circumstances.

Applicants deemed eligible through the pre-application process will be required to submit a comprehensive application packet in collaboration with the City of Jacksonville or Morgan County, as outlined on pages 13-49 of the program Guidebook. Officials with the two government entities are in the process of scheduling a required public forum addressing each applicant via a virtual meeting platform on May 1.

For more information, contact the Chamber at 217-245-2174 or email chamber@jacksonvilleareachamber.org
