Today was a heartwarming meeting as we learned all the good the Urgent Needs Fund has served over this last year, it truly illustrates a community coming together. It began to provide basic needs in our five-county region during our time of crises and with initial donations from the Community Foundation, Herrington-Fitch Family Foundation, Oleson Foundation, Rotary Charities, and United Way. Almost $1 million raised and to date close to $900,000 given in grants. Examples of how dollars were used include: cleaning supplies for Safe Harbor to continue to operate, technology for Hospice to connect families during their last time together, and NWMI housing to give families a home to be safe within.
