Talk about it

MANKATO — The AgStar Fund for Rural America is offering grants through the Emergency Response Services (EMS) Grant Program. The program supports rural communities in AgStar’s service area by funding emergency response equipment for volunteer fire, rescue or ambulance departments.

AgStar will award up to $100,000 in EMS grants in 2011.

All rural volunteer emergency response departments located in one of the 69 counties within AgStar’s service area that haven’t received a grant in the last two years are eligible to apply. Applications for grants, up to $2,500, may be submitted online at AgStar.com from through Aug. 31.
