McIntosh Co. Health Dept. Receives Funding for Lead Screening; Child Safety Seats

The McIntosh County Health Department recently received $10,000 in funding from the Miller Family Fund, a component fund of the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation, to purchase a much needed lead testing machine and additional child safety seats. The safety seats supplement a needed gap in funding and support the program the Miller’s previously funded focused on infant and child car safety. Martin and Laura Lynn Miller have a home in McIntosh County and a long history of successful philanthropy focused on health, aging and quality of life issues.

“This is just one more example of how the Foundation works with our donors to enhance the effectiveness of their philanthropy,” said President & CEO of the Coastal Georgia Foundation, Paul White. “We look forward to continuing to work with Martin and Laura Lynn to expand their impact in McIntosh County and all of Coastal Georgia”
