Regional Healthcare’s Community Health Committee to improve their services to the community.
The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakelands Region aims to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Their organization received $100,000 to support its comprehensive program and assist with acquiring transportation to allow greater access to more youth in the community.
Community Initiatives, Inc. was granted $205,610 by the committee.
