Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funding is being sought to purchase a 60 passenger bus to transport both preschool and school-age children to medical and dental appointments, after school care and educational field trips.  The children we serve are primarily from low income families and they would not otherwise have the opportunity for many of the services we provide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Due to an increase in our licensed capacity and Headstart guidelines requiring the Centers to provide additional services to a greater number of children, a new bus would allow us to provide all the necessary services in a safe and timely manner.
