JOPLIN, Mo. – Children’s Center locations in Joplin and Monett will receive assistance thanks to a $3,000 grant from the Arvest Foundation.
The gift was announced recently at the Children’s Center locations in Joplin and Monett. Community Bank President Chad Evans, SVP Sales Manager Rebecca Dunham and Marketing Manager Austin Hyslip of Arvest Bank were on hand to present the check to Children’s Center Executive Director Matt Stewart, Development Coordinator Lori Jones and support staff members.
The Arvest Foundation’s donation will help fill gaps the center’s federal funding does not reach. These funds can be used the areas they are most needed at either of the locations in Joplin or Monett.
“At Children’s Center, our primary grant dollars fund direct services for child abuse victims,” said Jones. “We are thankful to receive this Arvest Foundation donation, which can be used to offset essential administrative support and keep our mission-driven organization charging forward.”
“We are so grateful to be able to present this grant to the Children’s Center on behalf of the Arvest Foundation,” said Dunham. “The center has many needs that come up during the year that federal funding can’t be used for, and it was important for us to be able to help them out.”
