We believe in lending a hand to local organizations
GIVING BACK IS THE HEART OF MARNE ELK HORN
COMMUNITY DONATIONS
We’re grateful for the vital work of community organizations including Libraries, Fire Departments, Fire & Rescue Departments, American Legion Posts, and Daycare Centers. To help support them, we regularly make donations, and we’ve captured some of these moments in photos. Check them out — you may see your friends and neighbors.
In addition to these donations, the Marne Elk Horn board also financially supports other community organizations, and our staff and board volunteer their time as well.

Youth Sports Donations
Youth baseball and softball programs in our communities received annual donations totaling more than $4,000, according to Rachel Hamilton, Marne Elk Horn’s CEO.
Hamilton said, “The programs may use the funds in their area of greatest need or in whatever manner they see fit. Our staff and board appreciate the many parents and community members who support the Little League teams by volunteering their time. We know that supporting our youth is fundamental to the continued success of our local communities, and programs would not exist without volunteers.”
