It was a proud moment for the City of Great Bend during the City County meeting Monday night at the Events Center. Mackenzie Mitchell, development and communications coordinator with the Golden Belt Community Foundation, presented a sign and check to City Administrator Kendal Francis. This marked the city’s earning the Most Generous City Award from the foundation’s eighth-annual Giving Tuesday held Dec. 1. “This is very exciting,” Mitchell said. You guys do have a generous community.” This was the second year for the Most Generous City award, which was calculated with gift totals by zip code per capita. Great Bend received a grant of $1,000 to an organization or project in that community. Francis said they plan to use the funding for the Police Youth Academy.
