Major Impact Grant Recipients

   The HHI Recreation Center grant will enable the purchase of a fourteen-passenger minibus that will provide transportation for a host of audiences. Often summer camp, after-school field trips, and programs at the senior center are missed due to the lack of transportation. This minibus will positively impact many youths and seniors in our community. 

   Neighborhood Outreach Connection will receive funding to fully renovate their flagship New Oaks Learning Center. The grant will be used to paint, carpet, furnish classrooms, and equip New Oaks with the latest technology. This transformation will allow New Oaks to truly be a center of excellence with high quality learning spaces and improve the overall experience for children and adults.

The Sandalwood Food Pantry grant is for a new utility truck to assist with food deliveries and to transition stored food & sundries to their pantry. The truck will also be used for on and off island food pickups, donations and other pantry-related activities. A new truck will ensure Sandalwood can continue to provide food to those that so desperately depend on their support.

   The grant to the Boys & Girls Club of Bluffton will provide funding for a new storage area and scissor lift at their facility. This will enable existing storage rooms to be used for programs and create an overall better experience for the children. The scissor lift will provide a safer and more effective alternative to reach high places and ensure best practices can be maintained.
