"Being able to provide the developmental preschool services program each year, we have about a $5,000 per child per year gap between the fees that we charge our families and the actual direct programming expenses. So every dollar is valuable, so we're greatly appreciative of this donation," stated Elisha Reineke, executive director of the Children's Developmental Center of Lima.
Other organizations receiving checks were Family Promise, the Equestrian Therapy Program at Fassett Farms, and the Apollo Foundation.
