The Marsh Foundation is celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year and is honoring the milestone in a big way.

Congressman Bob Latta visited Family Health Care of Northwest Ohio and The Marsh Foundation.

The program lasts up to 24 weeks, where funding can be used to cover the entire cost of payroll and other eligible expenses.
Plans to expand are underway for the Marsh Foundation in Van Wert. Trustees and directors for the foundation broke ground for the new 15,000-foot structure Monday afternoon. The new building will house a gymnasium, locker rooms, a dining area, and more. The need for more accessibility and giving students more opportunities to be active were the main driving forces behind the new building.
A Van Wert woman is bringing her community together to make their area's foster children a little more cozy.
A Jammie Drive was held in downtown Van Wert, encouraging people to donate pajamas for foster children with the Marsh Foundation. Originally with a goal of 500 sets of pajamas, organizer Bri Fishpaw says they decided to raise that goal to 1,000 after nearing their original goal before Saturday's event. Fishpaw felt pulled to put on the drive after hearing stories of children arrive to their foster placement with nothing but the clothes on their back.
"I think, one, just so the foster families and kids know that they are supported, but also these kids show up with nothing, which is crazy to think about," said Fishpaw. "I'm blessed to have more than enough so it's hard for me to think of having little to nothing, so for them to have something that's their's that they can carry along, that means more than we can physically understand."
