The Avedis Foundation has doled out another $500,000 in grant funding this week; its latest recipient is Community Renewal of Pottawatomie County. Avedis also awarded $500,000 to Gateway to Prevention and Recovery.
The funds for Community Renewal will be used to continue its mission of restoring community through intentional relationships.
“The Avedis Foundation is committed to the vision of Community Renewal,” Avedis Foundation President and CEO Dr. Kathy Laster said.
Its ability to network with so many is powerful, she said.
“The evidence of their work is accomplished by building relationships and nurturing neighbors one block and one child at a time,” Laster said. “We are thankful that (Community Renewal Executive Director Brandon Dyer), his faithful staff, and board of directors are dedicated to creating a safe, connected and caring community.”
