T-Mobile presents grant check to ICFD

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) - T-Mobile presented a grant check to the Imperial County Fire Department (ICFD) Tuesday afternoon.

The check presentation was part of T-Mobile's Hometown Grant, where they award up to $50,000 per town across the country to help fund local projects.

To date, T-Mobile's Hometown Grants Program has provided more than $20 million to 450 communities across 48 states.

"When we launched Hometown Grants four years ago, we set out to make a real difference for small towns across America, and that's exactly what's happening with 450 projects now reaching 2.6 million people — with even more to come," said Jon Freier, Chief Operating Officer, T-Mobile. "These communities are full of creativity and resilience, and through projects like new trails, upgraded libraries and revitalized historic venues, it's incredible to see how their passion can spark lasting change for a better future."

Imperial County is one of 25 towns across the U.S. that received a Hometown Grant from T-Mobile, and ICFD says they'll use the funding to upgrade technology equipment to enhance readiness.
