Who have we supported?
Our first winner of 2019 funds was Form 5 Prosthetics, presented by member Kim Manno. Through Kim's work at The Ohio State University, Newark; she has learned of Aaron Westbrook's mission to help those with limb differences participate in all activities they choose. Form 5 Prosthetics focuses on task oriented, upper extremity prosthetics made using recycled plastics and a 3D printer. This innovated process will allow others who have limb differences to participate in life to the fullest.
Pam Roberts also spoke to us about Together We Grow Gardens, we have supported them in the past, and they continue to effect the Licking County community in numerous ways. Last year they gave away more than 2000 pounds of food and they aim to do 2500 this year. They are working to develop a vocational training program with the Board of Developmental Disabilities and continue to partner with local schools.
The Dawes Arboretum was represented by member Leigh Ann Miller. Many of our children have been to programs and field trips at the arboretum over the years, and their core focus is enriching lives through conservation and education. As programming has increased, the need for shelter across the street, near the Red Barn, has also grown. A covered shelter in this area allows children to participate in the great outdoors even during inclement weather, and provides a free space for public picnics and gatherings during other times. They are working with donors to raise about $48,000, our funds would have been matched.
