For every $2 of our money, we received $1 of federal money. We got $96,000 and earmarked it three years ago from the match. |
The council knew there are things missing in the community for teens to do. So money is being put aside for a teen center. Jill Rogers is putting it together. |

We [Children's Services Council] have $110,000 in an interest-bearing CD toward it. |
We are putting money aside for scholarships. We are working on the application process. |
We do help by putting money aside as a medically needy fund for children who are not insured. |
We provided special assistance for kids when their parents' homes were destroyed. We also provided clothing and toys when the parents lost their insurance. And when children need medications, we provide a month's supply of medication ... so the kids are not hurt. |
We send out a request for proposal and the agency comes up with a program and applies for a grant to fund it. |
