Meet the 2021 Dover Foundation Scholars
Every year since 1968 the Dover Foundation has given scholarships to local students to help curb the rising cost of a secondary education. This year was no different, with the foundation giving $150,000 worth of scholarships to 11 Cleveland County students.
The foundation hosted its annual scholarship awards event last week at the Le Grand Center to recognize those students.
“The Dover Foundation is pleased to encourage these exceptionally talented students by playing a small part in their academic journeys. Hearing about their plans encourages me and gives me hope for a bright future”, said Kathy Wilson, president of the Dover Foundation.

Team members from Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union recently volunteered their time to package food for Feeding Kids Ministries.
The program assists elementary, junior high and high school-age students each week throughout the school year. Every Friday, a gallon-size bag of non-perishable food is placed in the student’s backpack to assist less fortunate families with food for their child over the weekend. With the generosity of the community, the program has been able to expand and help families during the summer months as well.
