District Grant

We choose to support two great causes for our district grant. The Armed Forces Mission supports veteran and current military persons with mental health issues. We used the grant to purchase $1600 in training materials for the organization to train community members to speak on behalf of the organization to local community groups. In addition, 50% of our club membership will train to be community advocates in support of the Armed Forces Mission. We have the opportunity to reach 500+ people in the community informing them about suicide prevention.

In addition, our district grant will support Promise Place which serves as a women and children of domestic violence by providing emergency shelter, crisis hotline, and support groups to name a few. We purchased $600 in tables and seating for 17 clients and 2 high chairs for their dining room area and mulch for outside landscaping. In total we had 70% of our members who assisted with looking for furniture, delivering, refurbishing, cleaning and putting furniture together.
