Several Erie facilities will benefit from enhanced security thanks to $245,000 in federal grant funding, awarded by the federal Non-profit Security Grant program. 

Chabad Lubavitch of Erie County, Inc. will receive $150,000 and two separate grants totaling $95,000 will go to the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. 

The grants are part of a package of $4.2 million awarded statewide to protect diverse communities targeted by hate crimes.
