MITCHELL – The Lawrence County Community Foundation presented the 6th of 10 30th Anniversary Surprise Grants yesterday to the Mitchell City Parks Department.
The Parks Department was surprised with the grant yesterday, knocking another grant off the to-be-awarded list.
On October 19, at the Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Dinner, the LCCF announced their intention to give out ten surprise grants amounting in total to $30,000.
Each of the grants is $3,000, and the first was awarded to the White River Humane Society on the evening of the dinner. Bertha’s Mission, Little Theater of Bedford, the Mitchell Community Public Library, The Bedford Public Library, and now the Mitchell Parks Department have all been recipients of the surprise grants.
With six grants presented, the LCCF has four remaining $3,000 grants to award in the coming days. That’s $12,000 for other community organizations.
In total, the grants will amount to $30,000 representative of the 30 years of service the LCCF has provided for the Lawrence County Community.
