Lakes & Prairies received a $188,000 grant to benefit low-income children and families. The check was presented on behalf of the
Otto Bremer Foundation by Brian Hagen, president at Bremer Banks. The grant will be used to:
expand Child Care Resource & Referral services;
initiate a community-based “Circles of Support” program, and provide match funding for special
projects and initiatives including Group Workcamp Home Repair, the Lakes &
Prairies Tax Site, Food Support outreach, and Clay County Seniors.
At the presentation, Pederson spoke of the
importance of this grant to maintain and expand needed services for children and families.
