The grants are coming from last year s extra funding to help support pandemic recovery.
JEFFERSON CITY - United Way of Central Missouri held a news conference Tuesday to distribute $154,879 in grants to several of its partner agencies to help support pandemic recovery.
The funds came from the 2020 United Way Campaign, which exceeded its fundraising goal by $400,000. The rest of that money will be given as grants in late June. Jake Young, KOMU 8 Reporter
Ann Bax is the President of the United Way of Central Missouri. She says the community s donations have helped out in a big way this year. Because our community has blessed us with such great support, we have $400,000 in grant funding that we are putting out into the community. We re still in the pandemic, but as we re hopefully returning to a new normal, we are looking at ways we can help our partner agencies, she said.
