๐ This is a big moment for us at First Woman, and we couldnโt be more excited to introduce Samantha, our very first grant recipient. We recently had the honor of presenting her with her First Woman grant check.
๐พ Samantha is restoring a 1938 Standard Service Station in rural Minnesota and transforming it into a welcoming space where women-owned and small businesses can grow, gather, and thrive.
๐ก With support from First Woman, she is beginning interior renovations as she works toward opening ahead of her communityโs 125th Celebration in 2026.
โจ We are incredibly proud to walk alongside Samantha as she takes this first step โ and she will always hold a special place in our hearts as First Womanโs first grant recipient.
