City awarded grants for pool

Posted

The City of Fayette and the Park and Recreation Commission announced the receipt of two Walmart Community Grants totaling $1,500. The city was awarded $1,000 from Walmart Facility #80 in Boonville and $500 from Sam’s Club Facility #8163 in Columbia. 

The grants will be used for the purchase of lounge chairs and umbrellas to be used at Fayette Memorial Swimming Pool.

The Walmart Community Grant Program awards grants ranging from $250 to $5,000 through each of its facilities (Walmart Stores, Sam’s Clubs, and Logistics Facilities). Eligible nonprofit organizations must operate on the local level (or be an affiliate/chapter of a larger organization that operates locally) and directly benefit the service area of the facility from which they are requesting funding. Together, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation generally provide more than $1 billion in cash and in-kind annual giving.

“We thank Walmart and Sam’s Club for these grants.  The items purchased will greatly benefit our patrons of the swimming pool,” said Fayette City Administrator Tyler Griffith.

The city plans to open the swimming pool on Saturday, May 29, 2021, which is Memorial Day Weekend.
