The City of Red Bank has allocated $50,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to be awarded to eight local nonprofits. The organizations were chosen through the city’s recently established Nonprofit Citizens’ Advisory Board.

The funds are part of the allocated ARPA Federal COVID-19 relief dollars, and the nonprofits chosen were highlighted for their work helping residents during the pandemic.

“What better use of this small portion of our city’s allocated Federal COVID-19 relief dollars than to help our local nonprofits continue their critical assistance to the people of Red Bank,” said Red Bank Mayor Hollie Berry.

Meet the recipients:

  • Be the Change Youth Initiative | $10,000
  • Downside Up, Inc. | $10,000
  • Chambliss Center for Children | $5,000
  • McKamey Animal Center | $5,000
  • Northside Neighborhood House | $5,000
  • PORCH, Inc. | $5,000
  • The Learning Gardens | $5,000
  • WaterWays | $5,000

The organizations will provide a report to the Red Bank Commission detailing how they utilize the funds to benefit the community — so stay tuned for an update.
