Supporting the community means helping take care of our neighbors, especially local students and families.
Lawton Community Schools recently received a $2,000 hunger-relief grant through the Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan Agent Charitable Fund (ACF). The funding will support the district’s Buddy Bags program, which provides food for students experiencing food insecurity to take home over the weekends.
Steve Shannon nominated the district for the grant. For Steve, supporting Lawton Community Schools is especially meaningful because his children attend the district and he coaches soccer in the community.
“Through these relationships, I have seen firsthand how much this school means to our community and how important it is to support students beyond the classroom.”
The Agent Charitable Fund works with Farm Bureau Insurance agents, clients and partners to support hunger-relief efforts throughout Michigan. Lawton Community Schools was one of 24 organizations across the state selected to receive a hunger-relief grant in October.
We’re proud to help support the work Lawton Community Schools is doing for students and families and to give back to a community that means so much to us.
