Grants Available to Protect Churches, Others from Attacks

Grant money is being made available for organizations that may be at high risk for terroristic attacks.  The Missouri Department of Public Safety says it’s the first time the grants have been open to groups located outside of major metropolitan areas.  Churches, mosques, synagogues and other organizations can apply for up to $75,000 to use for planning, equipment, or training.  The application deadline is rapidly approaching, though.  You have to have your application submitted by June 4^th.  For more information call Theresa Stiles at (573) 301-2023 or Joni McCarter at (573) 526-9020.
