ALBION – A Noble County group is raising funds to help those on the front lines during the COVID-19 emergency.

The Noble County Community Organizations Active in Disaster is officially activating in response to the COVID 19 emergency. A response fund is now open and receiving funds through the Community Foundation. These funds will be designated to support nonprofits and qualified agents who are working to assist Noble County residents impacted by the COVID 19 cascade of events.

Their fiscal agent is the Community Foundation of Noble County.

The funds will be designated for food and other unmet needs to support the agencies working on the frontline; specifically items such as liquid hand soap, disinfecting supplies, and other expenses associated with new needs related to childcare in light of daycares and schools being closed during the emergency.

Agencies applying for assistance must provide proof of a valid nonprofit status.
