Ambulance fund receives AAF grant
The Action for an Ambulance team received word this week that the Amarillo Area Foundation has awarded a $25,000 grant toward the purchase of a new ambulance for the Friona EMS. The grant will make a significant addition to the already donated contributions of $41,871 from community businesses and the Friona Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture money-raising projects in addition to the $20,000 committed by the City of Friona. The campaign total now stands at $86,871 and is moving toward the goal of $220,000.
The Amarillo Area Foundation is the only nonprofit community foundation serving the more than 400,000 people in the Texas Panhandle. As a leader in philanthropic, nonprofit and community issues, the Foundation is a catalyzing force that addresses the community’s most critical challenges by providing significant, shared and lasting results. The Mission of the Amarillo Area Foundation is to improve quality of life for Texas Panhandle residents.
The Action for an Ambulance team is extremely grateful to the Amarillo Area Foundation for their consideration of the project and for their generous support.
