As a result of state and federal government funding cuts and policy changes, more community members will look to nonprofits, like ours, to help them meet their basic needs. That’s why our partners at Cambridge Square Muncie nominated the Muncie Delaware County Senior Center for a grant from Glick Philanthropies – a family of charitable initiatives dedicated to building community and creating opportunity – through the Glick Community Relief Fund. This program helps nonprofit organizations provide individuals, families, and communities with access to basic needs, such as food access, transportation, utility assistance, and mental health support.

We were selected to receive a $5,000 Glick Community Relief Fund grant. We will use this additional support to offer a welcoming location for weekday lunchtime meals for senior citizens who are 60 and above .
