The Children’s Nest in Audubon is one of the recent recipients of a grant through a Monogram Foods’ charitable foundation for children-based organizations. The Children’s Nest, a 501(c)(3) daycare center, was awarded $4,000 that will be used to update the gazebo in front of the building, creating a safe and enjoyable space for the kids attending to play in during the warmer months. Every year, the Monogram Loves Kids Foundation provides grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 for initiatives in surrounding communities where a plant is located. Monogram Foods operates in Harlan and Denison and has awarded grants to local community school districts, libraries, daycare centers, and more. Since its inception, the foundation has raised over $15 million to assist children’s charities throughout the region. The Children’s Nest staff thank Monogram Foods for considering them for the donation, helping to keep the center’s dreams alive, and providing care for children in and around Audubon County.
