Here's a great story about the work Choices for Youth is doing in our community! Check out their Christmas fundraiser if you get a moment!

It's Day 2 of our Christmas campaign 25 Stories of Hope, 25 Days of Kindness! Read about how our own Brad Kelly, Youth Support Coordinator with Train for Trades, sees the impacts our program is making in the lives of youth everyday. He talks about the ups and downs he sees, but also the amazing successes he's seen over the 5 years he's worked with Train for Trades. Visit http://25storiesofhope.com/ to read his story and make a donation towards our programming.

It's awful that someone would intentionally burn down a playground, but wonderful to see a company step up and help out.

After the old playground was burned in an act of vandalism, Hazelwood Elementary revealed their brand new playground on Tuesday, which Hickman Automotive Group donated $25,000 towards!

Our Terry Nelson and Barb Longphee were there to listen to a child from each grade say what the new playground means to them and to receive a card of thanks from the students.

You can read the whole VOCM story here: http://vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=38591

We were more than happy to help the community, school and children, and appreciated all the thanks from them on Tuesday! Enjoy the new playground!
