Selected organizations and projects receiving grants are Shenandoah Honor Society and FFA for the Operation Christmas program, Knightstown High School (U.S. History and Family and Consumer Science classes) for the Veteran’s Day project, and Eagle Scout Troop 293 for the Seven Hills camp renovation at Westwood Park.
