SCAM ALERT: It has come to our attention that a persistent scam is circulating, and we want to ensure your awareness and protection. Reports indicate a fraudulent scheme wherein an individual, posing as the retired Chief Deputy, "Sergeant Ken McCabe," is contacting residents under the guise of impending legal action tied to a warrant.  (Note: the retired Ken McCabe sounds nothing like that)
These scammers are adept at creating a convincing narrative, asserting that funds provided will function as a 'bond' to avert legal consequences. We emphasize that our law enforcement will **NEVER** make such demands or seek financial contributions via phone communication.
Should you receive a call or voicemail resembling this description, we strongly advise you to disregard it. If, unfortunately, you have fallen victim to this deception, we urge you to contact your local law enforcement agency promptly to report the incident.
Spreading awareness is crucial in preventing these scams from succeeding. Please share this information within your community to safeguard others. For Kankakee County residents, inquiries or concerns can be directed to KanComm Dispatch at (815) 933-3324.

We can’t thank all of you for your generosity again this year. We had Leo’s truck stuff both inside and out thanks to Dan’s packing strategy, then we needed to go get Steve’s SUV to have more room for more food. It’s no wonder so many people want to live here…thank you everyone!!
