Several Starke County charities are benefiting from grant
money from the Starke United Fund. These type of grants are made possible
through a partnership with Starke United and the Starke County Community
Foundation. There was $20,000 available that was split up among the various
local organizations.
The organizations who received helpful funding from the
grant include Kids Closet Ministry and Starke County A.B.A.T.E who each
received $2,000 and Knox Community Elementary School which received $5,000 for
their ‘Countdown to Kindergarten’ initiative and $1,000 additionally for the
KCES saving project. The Starke County Youth Club also received $2,000 through
the grant. Other organizations included WIC which received $350, Bella Vita,
the Salvation Army and The Crossing Education Center were each given $500, Psi
Lota Xi and Junior Achievement of Starke County each received $1,000, and the
Center of Workforce Innovations was given $1,080. One of the most substantial
donations of $3,070 went to the Community Services of Starke County.
Money for these grants is raised by individuals who make
donations to the Starke United Fund through payroll deductions, direct giving,
or through fund-raising events sponsored by the Starke United Fund Committee.
