The recent Community Connection Resource Fair organized by Nicor Gas, in collaboration with Illinois State Senator Javier Cervantes and the Town of Cicero, was a significant initiative aimed at supporting the local community. This event was designed to provide essential resources and services to over 250 customers and their families, ensuring that they have the necessary support during the cooler months.

The fair offered a variety of services, focusing on energy-saving options, bill payment assistance and basic needs services. By partnering with organizations like The Salvation Army, the Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County (CEDA) and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Nicor Gas was able to provide comprehensive support to attendees. These organizations played a crucial role in educating the community about available resources and offering assistance to those in need.

The event highlighted Nicor Gas’ commitment to supporting the communities it serves, emphasizing the importance of access to critical resources such as food, mental health support and bill payment assistance. By hosting such events, Nicor Gas aims to foster a sense of community and ensure that residents are well-equipped to handle the challenges that come with colder weather.

For those who could not attend the fair, Nicor Gas encourages visiting their website at nicorgas.com/C3 to learn more about the resources and services available. This online platform provides additional information and access to various forms of assistance, continuing the company's efforts to support and empower its customers.
