Our Honoring Home pillar boils down to staying true to where we come from, telling the stories of those who came before us, and strengthening what makes our community special.

How we’re working to accomplish these goals:
✨ Creating opportunities to share the historical stories of Mercer County.
✨ Highlighting local arts and culture through events and marketing.
✨ Securing funds for community projects that help preserve our heritage.

By honoring where we come from, we strengthen the opportunities ahead.

The Creating Opportunities pillar is all about creating a firm foundation for businesses, community members, and future generations.

How we are trying to accomplish these goals:
✨ Starting our Business Support Program to help people start businesses in Mercer County.
✨ Marketing support on our social platforms and for businesses.
✨ Educational opportunities.
✨ Working on grants for the community.

While we have always strived to consider those from the past and present in Mercer County, we continue to be purposeful when looking towards development opportunities. We believe growth should never come at the cost of who we are, but instead build upon it.

Homemade pasta, cannoli, salad dressing, bread, Alfredo sauce, and so much more equals the perfect recipe for a delicious meal! If you haven't eaten at Mamma Mia Bar&Grill you truly are missing out.

Our team made it over to their new location in Joy, Illinois, on opening day last week, and man oh man, it did not disappoint.
