Oasis receives grant from Archer Daniels Midland

[October 01, 2014]  LINCOLN - Archer Daniels Midland Company recently donated $800 to Senior Citizens of Logan County, Inc., aka “The Oasis.” The donation will go toward parking lot repaving and maintenance.

The Oasis’ new building had been a restaurant. Many more handicapped parking places are needed closer to the front doors of the facility. A walking path is also planned for the perimeter of the parking lot.

“We are pleased that Archer Midland Company will partner with the Oasis Senior to help with our parking lot maintenance. Our Seniors appreciate the large parking area and truly appreciate the Archer Midland Company for helping with this project,” said Dom Dalpoas from Senior Citizens of Logan County, Inc.

The Oasis was established 30 years ago. Its mission is to provide a place where senior citizens of Logan County, can come together for services and activities which enhance their dignity, support independence and encourage involvement in and with their community. Over one thousand people are Oasis members.

The donation was given through ADM Cares. ADM Cares is a social investment program that directs funds to initiatives and organizations that drive meaningful social, economic and environmental progress worldwide. The program comprises three distinct focus areas: supporting the responsible development of agriculture, improving the quality of life in ADM communities and fostering employee giving and volunteer activities.
