We asked, you responded! New Stretch Goal

April 16, 2021

GREAT NEWS!

Thanks to all of our wonderful donors,  we just surpassed our initial goal of $2,500! We are extremely grateful for your support!

With 17 days to go, we want to continue to build on what we have started for the Child Development and Family Center.

We've created a new stretch goal of $4,000. This will not only help us fund some of the smaller items on our wish-list, this will support the funding of larger items like sun shades for the playground and dishwashers for the classrooms.

Thank you again for your help! Please donate today and share our page with others!
