We have several resources in this area for young, single or impoverished 
mothers. Some of those are Alpha Family Center, MOPS, Great Start 
Readiness Program, local food pantries, and then the local hospital has a 
program for young mothers also.

Hope this helps!

> Champaign Public Library Director position closes Nov. 22!
> 
> Champaign Public Library - connecting our community with the power of
> knowledge, the world of culture and ideas, and the joy of reading.  The
> Board of Trustees of the  <http://www.champaign.org/> Champaign Public
> Library seeks a creative and innovative leader as its next Library
> Director-a leader working strategically with staff, residents and 
community
> organizations creating a shared vision for future library services and
> programs.  The successful candidate oversees and manages the Library's
> facilities which include the Main Library, the Douglass Branch and the
> Friendshop Bookstore.  Serving as Champaign's dynamic community hub, the
> Library hosts 1,675+ library and community meetings and events.  Since 
2011,
> the Library has been an annual Library Journal "four star" library.  In
> 2014, the Library won the John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations 
Award
> for the Library Foundation's "Show Some Library Love" campaign. 
Fundraising
> efforts resulted in a 30% increase in gifts received and a 60% increase 
in
> dollars raised. With a $6.6 million annual budget and the support of the
> Friends of the Library and the Champaign Public Library Foundation, the 
new
> director and staff (69 FTEs) will analyze community needs and recommend
> policies, strategies, programs and services to provide new opportunities 
for
> community engagement.  The Library is affiliated with the City of 
Champaign
> and the Director serves as a member of the City's Executive Management 
Team.
> The Library is a member of the Illinois Heartland Library System, a
> consortium of 545 member libraries in central and southern Illinois, and
> maintains a separate Polaris ILS shared with the Urbana Free Library.
> 
>  <http://ci.champaign.il.us/> Champaign offers an appealing combination 
of
> big city cultural and recreational amenities and a small friendly city
> atmosphere.  Champaign serves a growing city population of 82,000 and 
county
> population of 200,000.  At the intersection of education, innovation, 
and
> micro-urban living, Champaign residents are proud of the city's rich
> history, ethnic diversity, and strong sense of tradition; care deeply 
for
> their city; and participate actively in the issues which shape the
> community.  Lying within the crossroads of three of the country's 
largest
> cities-Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis-Champaign is distinctively 
placed
> in an ideal location.  Champaign owes its vibrant college-town 
atmosphere to
> the presence of the University of Illinois, a top-ranking public 
university
> with a current enrollment over 40,000.  Strong academic programs, 
including
> the #1 ranked Graduate School of Library and Information Science program 
in
> the nation, attract outstanding faculty from across the globe and one of 
the
> largest international student populations in the country.  Additionally,
> Parkland College, the exceptional Unit 4 School District, and 15 private 
and
> parochial schools provide excellent educational opportunities.  
Champaign
> also gains financial stability from a diverse industrial, professional 
and
> economic base, with an emphasis on technology, government and business
> employment. The city's neighborhoods offer numerous lifestyle choices
> including the urban character of downtown living, charming center-city
> neighborhoods, or new subdivisions with spacious homes.  Extensive 
parks,
> bicycle-friendly roads, amateur sports, and a diverse array of artistic 
and
> cultural opportunities contribute to the outstanding quality of life in
> Champaign.  For additional information on the Library, the City and the 
area
