Grove Rotary Funds Two Emergency Grants

The Grove Rotary Club provided a $1,089 grant to the Grove Public Library to purchase books to give away to children in lieu of its normal summer reading program. The grant was one of two emergency programs funded by the club to meet the needs of nonprofits during the COVID-19 pandemic. The other grant was to CASA in the amount of $1,000 to support volunteers for the court-appointed children's advocacy group. 

The Grove Rotary recently funded two emergency grants to help nonprofits react to the COVD-19 pandemic.

One was to the Grove Public Library to purchase books for the Book Depot. The money was used to purchase books that were given away to children and teens in lieu of the traditional in-person reading program. That grant was for $1,089.

A second grant was given to CASA to fund training manuals and background checks for volunteers needed for the area. That grant was for $1,000. The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every abused or neglected child in northeast Oklahoma can be safe, have a permanent home, and can thrive.
