The Laredo and Galt fire departments each received grants of $500 through the program, as did the Linneus and Meadville Fire Departments. Along with the monetary donation, members of each department will also tour GRM Networks’ central office located in their respective district. The tours will provide an opportunity for the fire departments to learn about the operations and the telecommunications equipment housed in each office.
In addition, GRM has donated $1,250 to the Newtown Ball Association. The grant will be used to repair the community building and cooking facility.
Other entities receiving grants recently included the Harrison County Council, which will use its $1,500 grant to replace flooring in the senior center as the current flooring has become hazardous for those who use the center.
The Bethany Kiwanis Club was awarded a $500 grant that will be used to purchase winter clothing for elementary school children in need in the South Harrison R-2, Gilman City R-4, Cainsville R-1, Ridgeway R-5 and North Harrison R-3 school districts. The grant also supports children enrolled in the Green Hills Head Start Program.
Also receiving a $500 grant was the Lamoni (IA) Community Center, which will use the funds to help with ongoing renovations to the center by replacing a leaking refrigerator.
Applications for the next distribution of grants are being accepted through May 1. Grant amounts vary from a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $1,500 for successful applicants.
