Van Wert Early Childhood Center recently received a check for $5,000 from the United Way of Van Wert County. The money was given on behalf of the New Initiative Fund, which allows organizations that are tax exempt to apply in order to help with a one-time need or project in Van Wert County.
The funds received are to aid in the purchase of two handicap accessible swings with the school’s new outdoor learning environment project. Located in a residential area, the school’s outdoor equipment is used both by the school district and community as a whole.
