Building a Better Whitewater
The Whitewater Community Foundation (WCF) invites you to join us in building a better Whitewater. A donation from you provides necessary funding for Community Action Grants. Community Action Grants have supported programs such as the Starin Park Inclusive Playground Equipment, the Whitewater Dog Park, the Storybook Walk along Trippe Lake, and so much more to improve the community we live in. Your donations also allow us to maintain the Whitewater Banner as a free source of community information.
This last year, First English Lutheran Church was awarded a $740 Community Action Grant to support their “Book Buddies” literacy program which supports parents and teachers in developing children’s enthusiasm for reading through working with caring, supportive adult “buddies”. Children are also given copies of the books. One of the children who has attended comes from a family of seven and excitedly told his “adult buddy” that he had never had his own book before.
Your support provides moments like this in our cherished community. Please open your hearts and donate what you can to help us build a better Whitewater.
