Unisource Energy Services has awarded grants to assist at risk youth and families in Yavapai County. Officials note the awards have been distributed over the past 3 months through the Grants that make a Difference Program, which offers financial support to non-profit groups that help improve the lives of others. Grant recipients were selected by a group of employee volunteers who looked for programs with measurable and reasonable expectations, offered by organizations that have demonstrated the financial and organizational stability to sustain their efforts. In Yavapai County, the Arizona Children’s Association’s Independent Living Program will receive 25 hundred dollars, the Chino Valley Food Bank’s Feed the Hungry Program will receive $1500, the American Red Cross Grand Canyon Chapter’s Family and Children’s Relief Fund and the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance will each get $1000 and Open Inn’s Turning Point Youth Shelter will receive $4000.

Everett says this bacteria-caused disease can be very dangerous to young children and potentially deadly for infants:
