Illinois State House District 97 issued the following announcement on March 13.
In light of the coronavirus pandemic, State Representative Mark Batinick (R-Plainfield) is launching a program to help those in need in the community. Below is statement from Rep. Batinick:
“My office is starting a coronavirus helping hands program. We need volunteers! While the coronavirus does not affect the majority of the population, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions are at serious risk. We are strongly encouraging those groups to stay home. If you need to go out for any reason, please contact us to see if we can have one of our interns or volunteers do that for you. We can run to the store, library, etc. Our district is basically far west Will County and Eastern Kendall County. If for some reason we can’t help you, we will try to get someone who can. If you need help or want to volunteer, please contact my office at 815-254-0000.”
