The Hometown Treasure October 2012 | Page 59

LaGrange Ministerial Association Award Earlier this summer, the LaGrange County Community Foundation (LCCF) Board of Directors declared the month of July as LaGrange Ministerial Association (LMA) Month and stipulated that all donations to the LCCF Good Samaritan Fund during that month would be matched dollar-fordollar in support of the association’s efforts to provide emergency transportation funds for indigent individuals. The transportation support is typically in the form of gas cards for folks suddenly stranded in our county and with- out funds while in route elsewhere. Community response to the challenge was brisk and at the September meeting of the LMA, the Community Foundation awarded $1700.00 to the attending membership. The LaGrange County Community Foundation frequently works with the local ministerial associations in their efforts to improve the quality of life in LaGrange County. The LCCF mission is to inspire and sustain generosity, leadership and service. Next Month In November, The Hometown Treasure will honor Veterans in the featured section.
