COMMUNITY BENEFIT GRANT
The Phelps Memorial Health Center Foundation, Holdrege, recently donated
$11,000 to the Holdrege Summer Lunch Program, sponsored by the YMCA of
the Prairie and other interested organizations. The Summer Lunch Program
will begin June 1, and be open for eight weeks, through July 23. The
program will be hosted by the St. Elizabeth Episcopal Church and the
Bethel Lutheran Church, on a rotation of the first four weeks at St.
Elizabeths (June 1 through June 25) and the second four weeks at Bethel
(June 28 through July 23).
Lunches will be served Monday through Friday, from 12 noon to 1 pm. All
school age children are eligible for the program, with an emphasis on
