Monroe County Extension staff and FCS Financial staff stand in front of a building with a check.

The FCS Financial Rural Community and Agriculture Foundation recently granted $5,000 to the Monroe County Extension Foundation in Paris, Mo., for construction of a new office building and community storm shelter. 

The new building will house five offices, a conference room, full kitchen and include a walkout basement that will serve as the community storm shelter during inclement weather.  Additionally, the basement will be used as a cooling center during the summer and be available to rent for meetings and events.

“This building will help to ensure the longevity of extension and outreach from the University of Missouri in Monroe County,” says Alec Fodge, Extension Council Representative. “Extension offices are staffed with a wide variety of specialists who provide guidance in nutrition, livestock, agriculture, small business development and 4-H programs. This information has a long-reaching, positive impact for the community.”

The FCS Financial Rural Community and Agriculture Foundation represents the cooperative’s long-term commitment to a thriving and prosperous agricultural industry and our rural communities. The Foundation focuses on targeted, long-term investments. 

“FCS Financial is committed to serving rural Missouri communities,” says Rob Guinn, FCS Financial CEO. “The Extension provides valuable services and education that improves lives and communities across the state. We are proud to support this endeavor that will benefit the entire county.”
