WHITEWATER COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ACTION GRANT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Per a press released issued by the Whitewater Community Foundation:

The Community Space (TCS) was able to put their $3,025 Community Action Grant received from the Whitewater Community Foundation in June to immediate use.  Timing is everything!  TCS was able to purchase a full-size walk-in cooler and a freezer at a great price from the nearby Subway which recently closed their doors.  The new appliances will allow volunteers at The Community Space to accept more food donations for distribution to families in the Whitewater area.  Pictured in front of their “almost-new” walk-in cooler from left to right are:  Therese Kennedy, Board Member, and Bonnie Miller, Program Coordinator, representing WCF, and Cindy Robers, Assistant Site Manager at TCS, along with volunteers Miranda Barber, Topni Czebotar, Kelly Landes and Sam Hearn.  You might not be able to see them, but there are smiling faces under all those masks.  We are all facing difficult times right now in our own way.  It is through the generosity of ordinary people like you that grants like this one are made possible.  

About WCF: The Whitewater Community Foundation’s mission is to “Enhance quality of life in the Whitewater area via educational, cultural, charitable or benevolent expenditures” through scholarships and community action grants.
