Constellation recently agreed to a deal with Meta that will result in $1 million in donations to local non-profits. 

 

Mandi Ries with the Neighborhood Care Center indicates that they have been partnering with Constellation for some time now; however, they received an email in April from the company looking to partner together. 

   

With their limited budget, the Neighborhood Care Center has not had the chance to dream big on any projects, but Ries and Executive Director Cody Monkman took a retreat to discuss and plan what the $45-thousand could be used for. 

   

The NCC ultimately decided to use the money to insulate and wrap part of the Clinton location that serves as the organization's distribution center. Ries adds part of the change will include Kelly Rempe transitioning to the role of Distribution Center Director. 

   

Things were not looking good for the Neighborhood Care Center when it came to raising the remaining $5,000. They were pleasantly surprised to end up beating that goal by almost triple. 

   

With the remaining roughly $8 thousand, Monkman indicates they would like to start an official internship program, and we'll have more on that this weekend on Regional Radio.
