Two local organizations were the recipients of grants from the Donley County Community Fund during the fourth annual Mulkey Block Party Saturday evening.
The Hedley Lioness Club and the Saints’ Roost Museum received $1,000 each for projects those organizations are undertaking.
The Lionesses are replacing the floor in their aging building, which also houses the American Legion Post.
The Museum will be making needed repairs to the exterior of the 1887 Clarendon Depot.
The Donley County Community Fund is working to build an Endowed Legacy to benefit charitable organizations for the entire county to benefit of future generations.
An affiliate of the Amarillo Area Foundation, the Community Fund is overseen by a local Advisory Board, which includes Jim Shelton, Diane Skelton, Shauna Herbert, Chris Matthews, Jacob Fangman, and Roger Estlack.
The Amarillo Area Foundation is a community foundation that serves the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. Founded in 1957, the Foundation provides grants and services to strengthen nonprofit organizations and the services they deliver.
To support the efforts of the Community Fund, tax-deductible donations may be made to Donley County Community Fund, PO Box 906, Clarendon, TX 79226.
