VAN WERT, OH (WLIO) - It's a milestone few can claim and an agency in Van Wert County is proud to say they have been serving the needs of children for 100 years.
Established by George and Hilinda Marsh as a way to help children in their community, the Marsh Foundation has grown into a facility that can provide a variety of services to children and their families. They are licensed to provide on-campus services for up to 30 children, offering schooling in grades 2 through 12, family foster care, adoption, and independent living services among others.
"We do start to inspire that hope and it's amazing to see the change in the children we serve from when they get to us as they go through their healing process and get better"
A special alumni-only event will be Friday, September 16th. The public is invited to attend Saturday, September 17th with a day full of events concluding with a concert by "Denver and the Mile High Orchestra" in the Bagley Auditorium and fireworks on the Marsh Foundation Grounds. Tickets for the concert are available on their website at https://www.marshfoundation.org/100-year-celebration.
