Shopko Foundation awards Boone County Council on Aging $1,000

On Monday, Nov. 21, Boone County Council on Aging Director Joe Fortmann, and staff members, June Doty, Cindy Mathison, and Rachel Vinciguerra, accepted a check from Shopko Store Manager Jaimie Little in the amount of $1,000.

The check was awarded as a result of a grant request written by Project Manager June Doty to help fund To Your Health, a series of information and education sessions to help mature individuals attain and maintain good health.

The Shopko Foundation Community Charitable Grant program was established to support charitable non-profit organizations through limited funding of local programs and events in Shopko communities.

Little said she has never before presented a check in the amount of $1,000.

The Boone County Council on Aging is extremely grateful for the award and is further gratified that the Shopko Foundation recognizes the important work being done to improve the lives of the mature population in Boone and surrounding counties.
