Today, our Decatur team had the privilege of visiting Macon Resources, Inc. (MRI) in Decatur, Illinois. Our goal was to learn more about their impactful programs and explore opportunities to partner in supporting individuals in need across Central Illinois.

Joining the tour were Guy Williamson, Kristy Boyle, and Kendra Gilman, who got a firsthand look at the wide range of services MRI provides. From supporting children and families to helping adults with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges, MRI’s programs are making a real difference in the community.

Three people tour a large industrial facility with machinery processing wide rolls of metal sheets. The factory is spacious, well-lit, and organized, with a visible Access logo in the bottom right corner. A break room with white walls decorated with colorful motivational quotes and illustrations. The room has white folding chairs and tables, wood flooring, and a few people gathered in the background near a door.

Some of the highlights include:

  • Children’s Services: Early childhood support and family programs for children from birth to age 5.

  • Adult Services: Vocational training, residential support, and mental health services for adults.

  • Manufacturing Programs: Opportunities for individuals to engage in meaningful work, including production of specialty license plates and signs.
