SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - A community expo called the Summit of Hope is being held in Springfield Wednesday.

The event brings together local service providers to create a "one-stop" environment for invited parolees and probationers to get help moving past barriers that may be preventing them from leading successful lives.

This is an Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Public Health sanctioned program. Events are independently organized in individual communities throughout the state.

The event is being held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the ORR building at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, 66 H Rd., Springfield.
