The Coffeyville Area Childcare Coalition is partnering with the Coffeyville Area Community Foundation to raise matching funds for a grant for a new childcare facility for daytime, evening and overnight care. Coalition President Sharon Brown says the grant will cover 75% of the cost.

Community State Bank's Mike Ewy has donated the land for the building, which covers 10% of the 25% needed for matching funds. Brown says they want this to be a blessing for not only parents but also the community.

Brown says donations are not only tax deductible but you also receive a tax credit. Donations can be made to the Coffeyville Area Childcare Coalition through the Coffeyville Area Community Foundation.
