Inspiring Minds receives $1,000 grant for community service project
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Inspiring Minds of Youngstown has received $1,000 from ServeOhio for a community service project.
A representative for ServeOhio tells 21 News the organization received $1,000 for a project in which 50 volunteers will help maintain the urban garden by weeding, watering and assisting with garden care while students manage and sell fresh produce at a summer market.
This is part of $20,000 worth of grants supporting projects for "ServeOhio Day," which coincides with the summer solstice, otherwise known as the longest day of the year.
This year, more than 600 volunteers will lead and participate in projects across 15 Ohio cities working to improve their communities through creative and impactful service.
"Each year I continue to be impressed with Ohioans' dedication to and passion for service and bettering their communities from building new community gardens to cleaning up local schools and parks in low income areas," said ServeOhio Executive Director William Hall.
