The announcement was made earlier this week at an American Legion post in Cherry Hill — an example, Kane said, of an institution that is struggling and can use the funding to survive the pandemic.
“Whether to recover lost revenue from the pandemic, whether it’s to be used for upgrades to their facility that are needed because of the pandemic … it could be used to assist in operating budget moving forward for the nonprofits.”
In Camden County, there are 18 American Legion posts that are struggling for survival, Kane said. “These nonprofits … do tremendous service for our residents, and we want to ensure they stay healthy and thrive.”
