Streator Unlimited is the winner of an AT&T Investing in Illinois Award
The AT&T Investing in Illinois Awards provide resources and recognition to organizations and programs improving lives in their communities and the state by advancing education, economic growth, new technologies and other essential community services.
By winning the award, Streator Unlimited receives public recognition and a contribution of $2,500 from AT&T to be used for its new group home at 602 E. Kent St. The new home will have eight bedrooms and provide 24-hour support for eight adults with developmental disabilities.
"It is rewarding to have the work we do every day recognized by AT&T," said Streator Unlimited Executive Director John Mallaney. "We are driven by our mission to serve the community and this award certainly reminds us that the work we do is important to others and appreciated by the local community. We also wish to thank state Rep. Frank Mautino for supporting this award."
Streator Unlimited is committed to enriching the lives of adults with disabilities by teaching skills that will enable them to reach their fullest potential, live as independently as possible and become integrated into the community.
The organization provides 24-hour support for the 28 adults with developmental disabilities living in their three group homes.
Mautino, D-Spring Valley, nominated Streator Unlimited for the recognition from AT&T Illinois.
"We are fortunate that very committed and caring groups are working to improve the quality of life for many residents of Streator," Mautino said. "Streator Unlimited does tremendous work for those with special needs and I was pleased to make this nomination to recognize all they do."
