Pat Moore Quotes on Children (3 Quotes)

More than 60 percent of our funding comes from local individuals, churches, businesses, organizations and the Bucyrus Area United Way and 40 percent comes from grants and fundraisers that we hold. Also, while we are a nonprofit organization and do not charge the parents of our children who use the program, we do ask them to make a pledge. One mom gives us the change out of the bottom of her purse a few times a month and that is fine. We want any child who wants to attend the program to be able to and that is another concern about having to move. With the decent amount of room we have now, we still have 20 children on a waiting list. If we have less room at a new location, that will mean less children can attend. We do not want to see that happen.

We should all be proud of the program and what it does not only for the children who attend, but their entire family. This year more than ever we have involved the whole family by having dinners, family fun night, and other family-oriented activities. We really get to know our families and are friends with them.

We are really lucky to have Bev here with us. The children really like her and she is doing a great job.
