Grants Galore: Fueling Exciting Adventures at the Center! |

We are incredibly grateful for the recent influx of grants that will bolster our spring and summer programs at the center. Thanks to the generosity of the Master Gardeners, we're expanding our garden area in anticipation of the vibrant blooms from the Shamrock Garden Club. The Summer Youth Program Fund has empowered us to invite three musicians weekly, fostering intergenerational connections throughout the summer. Furthermore, support from the Indiana Arts Commission enables us to host artists weekly for twelve enriching weeks this spring. Excitingly, we've just been awarded a grant extension from the USAging, allowing us to continue offering vital vaccine clinics at the center in the following year. These grants are a testament to the community's belief in our mission, and we feel truly blessed to have such support enriching our programs.
