35th and State St. Starbucks to Temporarily Close
The staff at the Starbucks on 35th St. and State St. regrets to inform the community that the store will temporarily close beginning Tuesday, January 18, 2022 due to staffing issues at the store and the rise of COVID-19 cases across the nation. At this time, the temporarily closure is planned for approximately one month. The store looks forward to welcoming customers back soon.
Bring a $25,000 grant to your community – 2022 State Farm Neighborhood Assist®
State Farm® is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022 by building State Farm Neighborhood Assist® bigger. That means more submissions, more grants and spreading good to more communities.
This year, the program will award 100 $25,000 grants (vs. 40 grants in previous years) to nonprofit organizations to help fund neighborhood improvement projects. Additionally, we’re doubling the number of cause submissions to 4,000.
U.S. residents who are 18 and older with a valid email address can participate.
The submission process is short and simple, and you can learn more by visiting www.neighborhoodassist.com. The program officially launches on February 16 at Noon CST. You, or someone you know, could be the catalyst for positive change in your community!
Your cause submission will be judged based on your answers to the following three questions:
- How much does the cause focus on an unmet need in this community?
- Why do you feel the $25,000 would address the unmet need?
- How much of a lasting impact on this community would the grant have?
The submission phase starts Feb. 16 at Noon CST and ends when 4,000 submissions are reached. You can prepare now by going to the website and downloading the submission guide. Each person can submit one cause. All you have to do is submit the cause; you don’t have to “run the program.”
After the 4,000 limit is reached, the State Farm Review Committee will score all the submissions to identify the Top 200 finalists.
The Top 200 finalists will then be uploaded to www.neighborhoodassist.com where you can vote for 10 days - from April 27-May 6. Each person gets up to 10 votes per day, every day.
The Top 100 causes with the most votes will each win a $25,000 grant from State Farm!
Winners will be announced on June 7 at www.neighborhoodassist.com.
