MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - A new grant awarded to Connections Shelter in Mankato will allow for the hire of its first full-time staff member.
The $50,000 grant comes from The Otto Bremer Trust. Up until now, Connections Shelter has relied on a few part-time staff and volunteers. The grant will create the new position of Pastor of Community Connections beginning in January. They will be responsible for managing volunteers and deepening partnerships within the community among other tasks. This comes at a time when the shelter is at full capacity.
