As your local telephone cooperative, ATMC is committed to improving our community. ATMC recently announced 15 organizations that are recipients of this year’s Community Connections Grant Program. “ATMC supports programs that will make a tremendous difference in our local community,” commented Al Parker, ATMC Director and Board Liaison for the ATMC Grant Committee. “We are excited to see how these organizations will use these funds to positively impact our community and we are proud to be able to assist them through this grant program.” After recently receiving grant funds, Kara Kenan, Co-Founder and Resource Director of Going Beyond the Pink, thanked ATMC for the donation saying, “Your grant programs are truly making a difference in the community. The money we received will allow us to provide several breast cancer patients with care bags full of educational resources and comforting items that will encourage them and give them hope on their journey to wellness.”
