The Central Lakes Rotary Club recently donated $1,000 to the St. Joseph’s Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund as well as $1,000 to The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes in Nisswa (formerly Kids Against Hunger Brainerd Lakes Area).
Because The Outreach Program has a matching grant challenge going on with CTC, the donation doubled.
