The Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents impacted by the recent storm that a Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) will be open tomorrow from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Life Church in Roscoe.

This resource center brings together multiple agencies and organizations to provide assistance, information, and support services to those affected.

Residents are encouraged to bring identification and any insurance-related paperwork to help streamline available services.

A variety of resources will be available to assist with recovery efforts. Please share if you or someone you know has been impacted and take advantage of this opportunity.

We are here to support our community.

With this capability, Mercyhealth will be one of the few ground-based emergency response programs in the nation to equip its teams with this critical resource. The ability to provide transfusions at the scene of an accident or medical emergency can dramatically improve outcomes for patients experiencing severe blood loss due to trauma and other emergencies.
