The city of Churdan has received a $20,000 Wellmark Foundation Matching Assets to Community Health (MATCH) grant for playground equipment at the city park.
MATCH grants are aimed at projects that help individuals, families and communities achieve better health through built environment initiatives that encourage physical activity or access to and consumption of nutritious foods.
“The Wellmark Foundation is proud to see all of the outstanding work communities are doing during these challenging times,” said Mary Lawyer, The Wellmark Foundation executive director. “These projects will not only provide the ground work for access to and consumption of nutritious foods but also opportunities for physical activity within their communities — both of which will enhance the quality of life and the overall well-being of citizens for generations to come.”
