Over the past two months, our local nonprofits have remained committed to their constituents and have needed to adjust operations and daily routines in order to adhere to Governor Holcomb’s stay-at-home order and diligently practice social distancing. The Community Foundation recognized the challenges many of our nonprofits faced to be able to continue serving others.
To assist the local nonprofits in Wabash County, the Community Foundation has granted a total of $29,500 in emergency funding to five organizations. The five nonprofits include (1) Second Harvest to increase inventory for Wabash County’s food pantries, (2) the Roann Public Library to purchase an additional computer and continue providing free WIFI for students on their eLearning days, (3) Advantage Housing to help finalize construction on an emergency housing facility on Hill Street in Wabash, (4) Living Well for food assistance, and (5) Wabash First United Methodist church to assist with a meal ministry in the neighborhood. We are truly inspired by the work of these nonprofits and their dedication to continue to provide for their constituents during this challenging time.
