Walmart’s Community Grant Program gave money to five organizations aimed at helping the community.
Communities In Schools of Kent, the City of Covington, The Boys and Girls Club of Covington, The Kiwanis Club of Covington and the Covington Rotary Club all received grants. The grants were distributed at Walmart during a ribbon cutting ceremony that included a live mariachi band and speeches.
Communities In Schools of Kent received $1000. These funds will go towards continuing to provide services to the youth of Kent and Covington.
The organization helps kids get what they need to succeed, by doing things like providing glasses to a student without healthcare, weekend food for families that face food insecurity, matching mentors with at-risk students or running programs like our high school internship programs at the Performance Learning Center at the Kent Phoenix Academy.
