Valley Sheltered Workshop

 

The Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley has awarded a $13,000 grant to the Valley Sheltered Workshop located in Batavia, IL.  The Workshop was established in 1966 by Reverend Gilbert Johnstone and provides a productive work environment for adults with developmental disabilities.  The funding provided by the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley will enable Valley Sheltered Workshop to remodel areas in their facility that will make it more functional and accessible to both their employees and the local businesses who utilize the work services they offer.  For more information on the Community Foundation, see www.CommunityFoundationFRV.org .

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
