The Marshall County 4-H Council is the recipient of a $50,000 grant from T-Mobile’s Hometown Grant program.
T-Mobile announced Thursday, March 21 that 275 communities across 46 states received funding and support.
Hometown Grants is T-Mobile’s way of giving people who live in small towns and rural communities a chance to transform the places they call home. Through community development initiatives across infrastructure, education, technology, environment and more, the Un-carrier is helping to create a stronger and more resilient future for communities nationwide —and is now extending its impact to include towns in Louisiana, Massachusetts and Nebraska.
The Marshall County 4-H Council will use the $50,000 grant to help launch the “4-H Poss-ABILITIES” Program. The initiative will offer inclusive youth livestock and exhibit building experiences, pairing K-12 grade special needs students with 4-H youth mentors, and providing enriching opportunities in both livestock care and exhibit development throughout Marshall County.
T-Mobile will host a check presentation Thursday, April 4 at 6 p.m. ET at the Gallery On West Event Center, at 202 West Street in Argos. The public is welcome to attend. MAX 98.3 FM’s Tony Ross will emcee the event.
