An annual competition to fund projects that enhance or benefit the Peabody community is under way for the 2012 calendar year.

Peabody Community Foundation encourages area clubs and organizations to apply for funds that PCF has available to promote community service and community projects.

Projects PCF has helped fund in the past are the event sign at the Second and Walnut street intersection, the Santa Fe Park sign, events at the HUB, the Boy Scout equipment trailer, Peabody Senior Center projects, and Peabody Swim Team.

Applications are available at Peabody City Office, Peabody State Bank, and at USD 398 Central Office.

All grant requests must be turned in to Sharlene Brooks at USD 398 Central Office by Jan. 25.
