The Community Foundation ofGreene County is pleased to announce it has awarded $20,500 to Blueprints from the James and Jackie Campbell Family Fund for renovations to the Carmichaels Senior Community Center and to assist with relocating/building the new central kitchen.
Blueprints, formerly Community Action Southwest, is a change agency that shapes futures by equipping and educating people to improve their lives. They serve as the catalyst to mobilize the resources for the entire community to enable families and individuals to attain the skills, knowledge, motivations and opportunities to become self-
sufficient.
The new Carmichaels Senior Community Center is located at 125 Municipal Road. Carmichaels, PA 15320. The Carmichaels Senior Community Center not only offers nutritious meals, but also a myriad of activities, education, social supports, volunteer opportunities and linkages to community resources. Though this site recently relocated in March, it continues to provide the same vital programming.
The Central Kitchen is responsible to prepare all of the Home Delivered Meals distributed throughout Greene County. Congregate meals are also prepared from this location for the Carmichaels, Mt. Morris and Waynesburg Senior Centers.
“We are so appreciative of the Campbell’s and the Foundation for their generous support of our efforts in Greene County. We can’t express that strongly enough. We could not
have made this work without their contribution,” said Darlene Bigler, CEO of Blueprints.
