Wednesday, March 4th, 2015 -- 9:30 AM
-The Clark County Community Foundation, Inc. recently presented a $500 Grant to the Calvary Lutheran Church ? "Matthew 25 Neighbors in Need" food pantry program, and the Neillsville Community Resource Center.The Foundation is pleased to support these local organizations, as they provide food and other basic need items to families in need, here in Clark County. This group, comprised of citizens from area churches, social service agencies, current food distribution programs, and the new Neillsville Community Resource Center, are all joining forces, to find workable solutions to hunger and other issues in our communities. And, thanks to Thrivent Financial, this CCCF Grant, also qualified for a $500 matching Thrivent program grant.
This is the first grant awarded by the CCCF, and is disbursed from the balances of the unrestricted Clark County Community Fund. As a newly organized Community Foundation, the CCCF has limited resources, from which to award grants. However, as the Foundation continues to grow, and donors recognize the importance and value of supporting the people and places where they live or work, the Foundation will be able to make future grants, and give scholarships that strive to improve the quality of life, for the citizens and communities of Clark County.
