We are grateful to the community for every donation. The work we do would not be possible without the support of so many. Here is a highlight of some of the grants and business donations we’ve received over the last six months:
Funding for Applied Behavioral Analysis
Rite Aid – Neighborhood Grant
$10,000
The Children’s Developmental Center has received a $10,000 neighborhood grant from Rite Aid Healthy Futures to continue advancing its important mission focused on families and improving children’s lives through comprehensive early intervention services, education, and therapeutic services.
Part of its overall Empowering Children signature initiative for Rite Aid Healthy Futures, the Neighborhood Grants help nonprofits address the toughest health and wellness challenges facing kids today.
The Center joins 370 other grassroots organizations who have each received a $10,000 grant for general operations. The funds will help them continue to deliver critical services as inflation, food insecurity, troubling mental health trends and other converging factors impact children.
The grants are funded through the KidCents customer fundraising program, which allows Rite Aid customers to round up their purchases in-store and online to support children’s health and wellness.
By rounding up their nickels, dimes and quarters, millions of Rite Aid customers contribute to local charities restoring hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children.
“Children today face acute and converging crises across a range of fields that adversely impact their quality of life,” said Matt DeCamara, executive director of Rite Aid Healthy Futures. “Thanks to the generosity of Rite Aid customers, these hyperlocal organizations can continue to provide much needed programs and services steadying the course for children today and guiding them toward promising tomorrows.”
