With a $10,000 grant, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in South Hero will continue to provide year-round programming for children who have been impacted by cancer and their families. Camp Ta-Kum-Ta helps give sick and healing children what they need to overcome their cancer, have a reason to smile, and build friendships with people like them.
Intervale Center, Inc. in Burlington will also receive a $10,000 Joy in Childhood Foundation grant to support the Intervale Gleaning and Food Rescue Program. The program provides a free Community Supported Agriculture share and pick-your-own garden to create a dignified way to participate in the local food economy and access fresh food.
Grant funding from the Foundation’s summer grant cycle will support local programs that provide health and hunger relief to kids throughout the country. Programs range from summer camps for children facing severe and chronic medical conditions and multisensory equipment for hospitalized children with intellectual and developmental disabilities to afterschool and weekend meal programs that provide healthier options for youth facing food insecurity.
