REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Redmond Spirit's Foundation, which announced earlier this year it was closing its operation after five years of financial assistance to nonprofits and individuals, has announced the five recipients of one final ground of grant-making.
"Congratulations to the recipients of the Redmond's Spirit Foundation final donations. And thank you to all of the applicants," they said. "With so much good work going on, and so much need, this was a tough process and decision.
Redmond Senior Center will receive $500 to purchase durable equipment for their new commercial kitchen. The equipment will save on labor costs to prepare the meals they serve on-site as well as the meals they deliver to older adults and persons with disabilities in their homes.
Preschool/Pre-K at St. Thomas Academy will receive $1,500 to set-up a calming sensory space in the new modular building. The equipment will serve preschool and pre-k students, and will be especially important for students who need a separate space to help them regulate their big emotions.
