At its quarterly meeting last Thursday, the Gary Thomas 100 Men Project selected the Homer Independent Press to receive its quarterly donation, according to an email.

The 100 Men Project is a local “giving circle” formed in 2021 to recognize the incredible community service Gary Thomas provided to the Homer area. Its members come together quarterly, select a cause or charity to receive their support and write $100 checks each to that cause or charity. 

The anticipated donation to Homer Independent Press is between $8,000 and $10,000, depending on final contributions.

“Thank you for the important work you do to make Homer a better place to live, work and play,” the 100 Men Project wrote in the email.
