An Independence health group receives a microgrant from the Community Foundation for Independence.

 

The Foundation has announced that Indy Women United will receive $500 to assist with the purchase of basic hygiene products for local students. Indy Women United is a group that helps USD 446 students have access to essential hygiene products when they need them most. The group works through each local school's nurse's office to distribute items to students in need, helping them feel confident, cared for, and ready to learn. For many families, rising costs can make it difficult to afford necessities. By helping meet these basic needs, Indy Women United is making a meaningful difference in the lives of local students and creating a stronger, more compassionate community.

 

The Community Foundation for Independence connects donors and organizations to support projects to improve the quality of life in Independence and other surrounding communities.
