South Slope Provides Matching Grants to Support Two Local Organizations

September 12, 2024

South Slope Cooperative Communications and Aureon are pleased to announce that matching charity grants have been awarded to the Amana Benefited Fire District and the North Liberty Community Pantry. The Aureon Charity Grant Committee delegates funds to projects committed to the betterment of local communities.

The Amana Benefited Fire District will use the funds to replace their fire hose which failed during the hose testing procedure and has since been deemed unusable and taken out of service. This hose is critical for a wide variety of fire suppression activities, and its replacement is essential for the department to maintain effective operations.

The North Liberty Community Pantry will use the funds to replace aging laptops currently used by the Special Projects Coordinator, Saturday Pantry Shift Lead, and Marketing and Development Coordinator. These upgrades are essential for improving the efficiency of the office network and will allow the pantry to allocate the donated funds towards purchasing and distributing food rather than covering technology expenses.
