WCCF  Donors Award $2,500 grant to Choices Life Resource Center

Thanks to generous donors who have supported the Washington County Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund, Choices Life Resource Center is the grateful recipient of a $2,500.00 Rapid Response Grant.  “The desire of Choices Life Resource Center is to save, support and enrich the lives of those we serve. In very much the same way that Washington County Community Foundation works through Choices Life and other organizations like ours to build a better community for now and future generations,” stated Donna Wesner, Director at the Center.  The grant money will be used to purchase formula and diapers.

The Foundation reactivated the Disaster Relief Fund in March to address emerging community needs cause by the COVID-19 Pandemic.  “We knew that needs would arise and we wanted to be in a position to address those needs quickly,” explained Judy Johnson, Executive Director of the Washington County Community Foundation.  “We reactivated the Disaster Relief Fund and are actively accepting donations to that fund.  Nonprofits directly working with clients impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, or have been impacted by the Pandemic, are encouraged to apply.  Our goal is to respond to the applicant within a few days.”   More information about the Rapid Response Grants can be found on the Foundation’s website.
