Coleridge Area Fund/Coleridge Ambulance Service/Rescue Squad Receives AWG Cares Award Grant

Recently, AWG Cares provided a grant in the amount of $3,000 to Coleridge Area Fund in Coleridge, NE, for the Coleridge Ambulance Service/Rescue Squad. The grant request was submitted by Cynthia Puntney, AWG Nebraska Division employee.

The Coleridge Area Fund is a community-led effort to use philanthropy to sustain and build the community of Coleridge and the surrounding area. The fund works to increase charitable giving and to make grants that help create a sustainable and prosperous community. The fund encourages people from all walks of life to give back to the community by providing a full range of charitable giving opportunities.

The grant will be used to help the Coleridge Ambulance Service/Rescue Squad purchase a new ambulance and update some of their equipment which will be a blessing to Coleridge and beyond. The Coleridge Ambulance Service is in the middle of Cedar County in Nebraska. They are a small volunteer ambulance service that covers the Village of Coleridge (population 476) and a rural area of 126 square miles that make up the Coleridge Rural Fire District.

Thank you, Cynthia, for donating to AWG Cares and submitting this grant request!
