The Salida Community Center has received a $10,000 grant from the Colorado Grand.
Colorado Grand donates money to non-profits in the towns they visit. Community Center Director Elaine Allemang applied for and was awarded the grant for Salida. Salida hosted the classic car tour back in September.
The Community Center will use the money to support many of their programs, including: the Emergency Food Assistance and Commodity Supplemental Food Programs, the FIBArk Breakfast, Community Christmas Dinner, Salida Easter Egg Hunt, and the American Flag Program that displays flags in front of Salida Businesses on six national holidays.
If you have a program or idea for the Salida Community Center, call Elaine Allamang at 539-3351.
