Lamar Gives 365 conducted its annual grant recipient event last week, awarding over $21,000 in grant funds to local non-profits.
Five entities got $3000 each. They were the Barnesville Boys & Girl Club, Friends of the Milner Library, Hope Tree Ministry, Lamar County Senior Center, the REACH Scholarship Fund and Rebuild Lamar.
Lamar Arts was awarded $2500 for technology upgrades while the local health department received $1347.60 for children’s health programs.
Lamar Gives 365 members give $365 per year or one dollar per day. Half the annual gifts are distributed and the other half is invested through the Barnesville-Lamar County Community Foundation.
Members get to vote on which non-profits are funded and in what amounts.
