	HelpSource Consortium: About Us
History	The HelpSource Consortium grew out of a widely recognized need for a centralized online system that would provide easy, fast, 24-hour access to information about human services in East Central Illinois. By coming together in 1998 under the leadership of The Carle Foundation, the member agencies and organizations are working in cooperation with the Prairienet Community Network to create and maintain HelpSource as the most comprehensive, online reference guide for use by human services, healthcare providers, and residents of East Central Illinois and West Central Indiana. HelpSource Affiliates receive information technology consulting, training, and technical support from HelpSource Consortium technical partner, Prairienet.
