Programs described in its return (3)
- $264,964 spent. THE ONO GRANGE HAS NEARLY COMPLETED THE REBUILDING OF OUR HALL WHICH WAS DESTROYED IN THE ZOGG WILDFIRE. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMUNITY DRIVEN PROJECT THAT AIMS TO RESTORE A VITAL GATHERING SPACE FOR LOCAL EVENTS, EDUCATION AND SERVICES FOR OUR REMOTE, RURAL COMMUNITY. WE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, GRANTS AND DONATIONS. INCLUDED ARE THE INSTALLATION OF FOUNTATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, MODERN SAFETY FEATURES AND EXPANDED FACILITIES. THIS PROJECT NOT ONLY PRESERVES THE LEGACY OF THE ONO GRANGE BUT ALSO ENHANCES ITS CAPACITY TO SERVE OUR RURAL COMMUNITY, HOSTING ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS AND FOSTERING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT FOR YEARS TO COME.
- $1,282 spent. THE ONO GRANGE HOSTS AN ANNUAL ONO COWBOY SANTA EVENT, WHICH SERVED OVER 150 LOCAL FAMILIES AND THEIR CHILDREN IN OUR RUARL COMMMUNITY. IN 2024 WE ALSO RE-DEDICATED OUR HALL WITH THE HELP OF THE CA STATE GRANGE. THIS EVENT BROUGHT ATTENTION THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY THAT REBUILDING AFTER A TRAGIC WILDFIRE AND PRESERVING TRADITIONS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF HEALING.
- $450 spent. DURING 2024, THE ONO GRANGE HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ONO-IGO COMMUNITY CHURCH. IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP AND SHARED MISSION TO SERVE THE ONO-IGO AREA, WE HAVE MADE REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE USE OF THEIR SOCIAL HALL. THIS COLLABORATION HAS ENABLED US TO HOST ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY EVENTS AND GATHERINGS, FURTHERING OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE SOCIAL WELL-BEING, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND VOLUNTEERISM WITHIN OUR RURAL COMMUNITY. THROUGH THIS PARTERSHIP, WE HAVE STRENGTHENED OUR SHARED COMMITMENT TO ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NEED.
