Another COVID-19 Rapid Response grant was awarded to a Marshall County organization last week.
Assistance was given to the Argos United Methodist Church Shepherd’s Food Pantry.
COVID-19 Rapid Response grants are given to organizations that address critical basic needs such as food, childcare, and housing/utility assistance for households impacted by COVID-19. They are distributed by United Way in partnership with the Marshall County Community Foundation, and they work with a network of businesses, educators, faith-based and disaster relief organizations, nonprofits, and volunteers to provide aid for immediate and urgent needs.
Total grant awards to date are $232,363. The first round of COVID-19 Rapid Response grants from the Marshall County COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund at the United Way were awarded April 10, 2020.
