The C.E.F.S. Economic Opportunity Corporation held their annual board meeting Thursday in Effingham, where the organization got to showcase the huge impact they have on many residents’ day-to-day lives.

C.E.F.S. CEO Kevin Bushur says over 16,000 people from across the area used the corporation’s wide variety of services in the past year.

Bushur says C.E.F.S. also offers programs for daycare and preschool, utility bill help, worker training, and many other services through the C.E.F.S. outreach program. He says it’s through the help of many volunteers that keeps C.E.F.S. running and touching so many lives.
