We are thrilled to announce that we have won $8,000 from the Dollar General Foundation to boost adult literacy in the Midlands of South Carolina.
“We are so grateful to our talented Board CFO Chris Keefer for writing this grant and to the Dollar General Foundation for choosing us. These funds will help us continue giving over 50 hours of free tutoring per year to any adult who needs reading help,” said Lisa Cole, Interim Executive Director. “We would not exist without major funding from those who care. Community partners like the Dollar General Foundation are heroes that make a difference in the lives of so many.”
