Last October, the Gun Lake Tribe donated a total of $500,000 to several local schools
and the County of Allegan to assist in mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
The donations came from the Tribe’s Coronavirus Relief Fund pursuant to the federal CARES
Act. Those donations helped to fund school safety mitigation efforts, and a county mobile
vaccination unit.
Eleven local schools received $25,000 each while Allegan County received $225,000 to
purchase the mobile vaccination unit that will provide area residents with their COVID-19
shots once they become available to the public.
On March 17, representatives of the Gun Lake Tribe and Allegan County will hold a
donation ceremony to commence operation of the county’s mobile vaccination unit.,
