ABERDEEN – Nine entities ranging from law enforcement to education benefited from this year’s round of South Monroe County Community Fund grants. During a June 1 ceremony at the Aberdeen Main Street Depot, SMCCF Chairperson Kathy Seymour recapped the history of the CREATE Foundation affiliate.

“South Monroe County Community Fund has been in existence since 2006. For 17 years, we have been doing this. Every fall, we send out a letter asking for money so we can do it again the next year. We do have a sizable endowment at CREATE, our parent organization. We can’t use all that money to give out but do have a portion we can donate each year to causes in south Monroe County, which includes Hamilton, Prairie, Aberdeen and surrounding areas,” she said.
