Non-sectarian, non-partisan charitable community groups will be selected for their service to the community in the following areas: local community service organizations, organic food, natural health, environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural practices, human rights, environmental preservation, and groups with “like minded” mission statements. The Community Relations Committee also hopes to fill at least one slot for an organization with a focus on youth.
