Impact Stories

Thanks to a grant from the community foundation, the Sylvan Grove Union Pacific Railroad Depot was able to complete their landscaping project. This project included fencing, sidewalks, landscape items, and the installation of a section of authentic rail track.

The grant funding from the community foundation allowed USD 298 Lincoln to provide rubber flooring for the weight room to prevent damage to the current concrete floor.

"Without this grant, this project would not have been possible. We are excited to reopen our facilities to the public so that they can share our improvements!"

The Post Rock Extension District recently held a 'Dining with Diabetes' program. This program helps individuals learn different strategies to manage their diabetes, whether is it through carbohydrate counting, portion control or meal planning.

The 50-year old flooring at the Lincoln Art Center was showing wear and discoloration and was full of broken and missing tile. Visitors were commenting on its condition and it was distracting attention from the quality art exhibits.

The only way to get community events and news out to the City of Hunter and tourists driving through was a single blackboard by the community center that could only be seen if you were already in Hunter and from one direction.
