Community Foundation exceeds October Match Month goal
November 14, 2022
ELLSWORTH, Kan.— In October, the Smoky Hills Community Foundation had an opportunity to receive matching funds from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation during what is considered ‘Match Month’.

Town of Kanopolis

The Kansas Strategic Group’s goal is to help beautify and clean up the town of Kanopolis. With a grant from the community foundation, the group was able to repair, paint and install a new door to the building so it can continue to be utilized by community organizations.

Feeding the Children

Feeding the Children of Central Kansas was so lucky to be able to help a college student. Not only did she learn with her work experience in her planned career but our program benefited by having another staff person able to supervise volunteers of all ages.

Immanuel Lutheran Church

Immanuel Lutheran church has been actively doing outreach into the community. We were limited somewhat by Covid 19 but alot of our activities happened before March. It was decided that the money set-aside for quilt making and bierock bake-off would go directly to the Wilson/Dorrance Food Bank where there was great need with the pandemic.
