ADRIAN — WLEN has opened applications for the 2026 Hometown Hope Marketing Grant Program.
The program helps local nonprofits, schools, clubs, and churches share their stories with the community.
Each of the 12 groups selected will receive a grant valued at more than $5,600. The package includes a month of radio commercials, interviews, social media promotion, and other community exposure.
Lenawee Broadcasting President and General Manager Julie Koehn said the program is about more than advertising. It gives nonprofits the chance to move hearts and tell their stories.
Applications are open through November 30 at WLEN.com under the Community tab. A panel of judges will select the winners in December.
Hometown Hope is sponsored by McDonald’s of Adrian and Hudson, Acrisure, and 103.9 WLEN.
