ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Comprehensive Community Solutions (CCS) received a $100,000 donation from Nicor Illinois Community Investment on Wednesday to enhance its workforce development programs.

The funding will enable CCS to hire an on-site behavioral therapist for its Alive and Well program, which offers free mental health resources to the community.

CCS is known for its workforce development initiatives, including YouthBuild and Rock-for-Work, which aim to equip individuals with the skills needed for employment.

Since 2021, Nicor has invested nearly $2 million in Rockford and other Illinois communities, demonstrating a commitment to local development and support.
