The Thomasville City Schools District has received $7,500 from the Community Foundation of South Alabama.
The grant has been awarded in support of the effort related to "Closing the Opportunity Gap in South Alabama." The funding will pay for a portion of Thomasville High School Cafeteria Dining Area Furniture, Fixture, and Design Enhancement Project. The goal of the project is to make the dining area more inviting by purchasing new dining room furniture.
The Foundation strives to aid families, specifically kids, in its eight-county footprint. Annually, grant funding supports programs that address mental and behavioral health, family, education, work, racial equity and arts and culture.
"We remain steadfast in our support of nonprofits and programs dedicated to our local youth because we believe in the power of young minds to transform our community," said Community Foundation of South Alabama President and CEO Rebecca Byrne. "By investing in their growth and potential, we are building a foundation for a brighter future for all."
