It is heartening to see the Community Foundation of the Great River Bend awarding grants to local nonprofits. These grants will help these organizations to continue their important work in the community. However, it is important to note that the grants are only a short-term solution and do not address the underlying issues that have caused the need for these nonprofits in the first place. We need to look for more long-term solutions to ensure that these organizations can continue to provide assistance to those in need.
