Hubbard First Response and Rescue is the recipient of a $5,000 donation from the 100 Women of the Heartland Who Care.
According to a press release from the giving circle, members gathered for a social hour Jan. 12 and heard presentations by three local nonprofit groups, including Nevis Women’s Club, the veterans’ group Mandatory Fun Outdoors and the first response group.
The group then chose Hubbard First Response and Rescue to receive the donations gathered for the first trimester of this year.
Each member of the philanthropic group donates $100 three times per year. Started with 18 original members, it has grown to 50 and continues to welcome new members. For more information, visit heartlandwomen100.homesteadcloud.com.
The Hubbard First Response team is composed of volunteers who respond to 911 dispatches from the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office. Its goal is to provide emergency medical responder (EMR) or higher level care.
