2025 Grants in Action
Red Bud High School Musketeer Market
Red Bud High School Musketeer Market provided Thanksgiving and Christmas meal bags for 15 families. We also regularly order $150-200 in snacks and supplies bi-weekly. Lastly, we just purchased pants for a student to wear to graduation, underwear and shoes for a transition student who has recently become homeless, prom tickets for 2 needy students, and paid lunch bills for 3 graduating seniors.

SWIC Americorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program
Throughout the year we had grandparents do what they do best- share love and continued support no matter what. They helped children learn how to spell their names that didn't even know a letter when the year started. They helped build confidence in students who were lacking loving supportive adults in their corner. And they helped inspire the teachers and staff at their sites to keep showing up even when it's tough. There is just no program like this, and I am so incredibly grateful for your investment in your communities. We are all better when we come together in support and thrive deeper in our mental, physical, and spiritual health.
