Town & Country Credit Union recently donated the $3,130 raised from ticket sales for their 75
th Annual Meeting in Fargo and Minot, with $930 going to Project Ignite Light and $2,200 going to the Minot Area Homeless Coalition.
Project Ignite Light was founded by Pebbles Thompson in 2008.� Pebbles spoke at the Fargo Annual Meeting.� Pebbles Thompson and her family came to realize the need to bring hope to children and families experiencing abuse in the Fargo/Moorhead area.� With a heart for children coming from rough homes, Pebbles looked at her community and discovered the fact that children would leave investigative doctors appointments with very little if any dignity, compounding the stress and shame of abuse. In the most practical ways possible, Pebbles with the help of her family and friends, sought to provide simple things to restore this dignity and even bring joy in the midst of most dreary circumstances.� She began to assemble "bags of hope."� The bag includes a fleece tie blanket, pajamas, a flashlight and a book among several other items.� The goal of Project Ignite Light is that each child who enters a hospital or Advocacy Center for reasons of abuse or neglect be given a "Bag of Hope".� The bags are distributed all around North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.
Mac McLeod accepted the check for the Minot Area Homeless Coalition at the 75
th Annual Meeting in Minot.� They provide important information and referral services to people in the Minot area as well as providing emergency shelter, food, transportation and utility assistance, rental and security deposit assistance, and also community education.
Town & Country Credit Union is proud to support these two great organizations in our community.� This is the second year that the annual meeting ticket sales proceeds have been donated to a local non-profit organization.
