The Hoopeston Multi-Agency Service Center provides local access to federal, state, county and private social service agencies for residents of northern Vermilion County. Access to social service agencies is accomplished through information and referral.

The Multi-Agency also provides office space and other supportive services for various agency representatives such as counselors and caseworkers, to provide social services in northern Vermilion County.  Space is also available to rent for private parties, showers, anniversaries, job fairs, middle and high school drop-in center (over-time), and various church functions.

For specific information on programs and services, contact the office directly at (217) 283-5544.

The Multi-Agency is funded by the Vermilion County Mental Health 708 Board, East Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging, Inc., United Fund of Grant Township, East Central Illinois Community Action Agency, local donations, and private contributions through corporate grants.  The Department of Human Services sponsors the TEEN REACH Program, which is an after school program for 8-17 year olds.  The Multi-Agency hosts fundraising efforts all year to make up for cutbacks or delayed payments.

The Multi-Agency also provides transportation for senior citizens and disabled citizens five days a week the year round, as per demand.  Because the Multi-Agency van is the north county's only means of transportation, the agency also transports low-income clients of all ages.

The thrift shop, open daily from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., is a source of revenue and a great place for low-income families to shop.  The Healthy Moms/Healthy Kids program provides low-income single or married moms with a free bag of clothing for every member of the family once a month until the youngest child turns four years old.  The shop is available for emergency situations, such as floods, fires, tornadoes, and evictions.  They sometimes have furniture to give in emergency situations, and they share surplus clothing with the Salvation Army and the V.A. Hospital.
