This past week, T-Mobile announced twenty-five recipients of their Hometown Grants.  The company gives out twenty-five of the grants each quarter of the year to organizations in small towns with populations of 50,000 or less, across the country.  The local Boys & Girls Club is one of this quarter’s recipients.
To date, the company has now given more than $10 million to kickstart community development ideas across 42 states, with projects like upgrading tech at local libraries, building new hiking trails and revitalizing historic buildings. With $25 million set aside through 2026 to fund community projects, T-Mobile is empowering more people with digital connections that create a more sustainable future for all.

The T-Mobile Hometown Grants announced last week include one for the Cyber Café at the Boys & Girls Clubs serving Chattooga, Gordon, Murray and Whitfield Counties.  The funds will be put to use updating technology with routers, tablets with a portable charging station, touchscreen televisions and an interactive virtual educational system for youth to have a dedicated space for homework help and program engagement.
