About Us

Project Success Building

Welcome Friends!

Project Success of Eastern Bureau County began in 1996 as the result of a state-wide program initiated by Illinois’ First Lady Brenda Edgar. It was her goal to create community programs that would involve families – children and parents working, playing and just being together. (Sadly only the Spring Valley and Decatur chapters continue today.)

Programs have changed with the times, but the mission remains the same – to offer activities to strengthen family units. Annually we participate in family-oriented programs such as Santa’s Workshop, Stamp Out Hunger, Teen Showcase, Santa’s On the Run and National Night Out

Hall Twp. Food Pantry is perhaps the most well-known program developed by the Project Success Board of Directors (pictured below). It is a Client-Choice pantry, meaning our clients “shop” with the help of volunteers who serve as personal shoppers. This enables them to select items they like and need, rather than being given a pre-packaged box of food.
