American Legion Auxiliary Unit 64 received a grant from the Central Community Foundation to improve the kitchen and dining area. 

The hut, which is used by individuals, organizations, schools and the American Legion for parties, meetings, trainings and other social events will receive upgrades to the kitchen thanks to the $4,900 grant. “The building had been a community mainstay for many years and we want that to continue.” 

“It is a place for our service men and women to escape for a break during drill weekends,” said Nellie Caldwell, American Legion Secretary/Treasurer in the grant. 

The Central Community Foundation provides grants through the Operation Round Up program at Central Rural Electric Cooperative. Members of CREC can round up their monthly electric bills to the nearest dollar to help organizations and residents in need throughout Central’s seven-county service area.
