Money from the FUMC Hilltop Ministry account was donated to Hilltop Neighborhood House for the removal of three trees infested with ash bore disease. The trees were located in the playground area. Two sturdy canopy/tents will also be purchased with this money to provide shade for their smallest children when on the playground until new trees can be replanted next year.
The Early Childhood Development Program that uses this playground is supported by scholarships. Currently79% of the children enrolled in their childcare program come from low-income families and receive "scholarships" or tuition assistance. 100% of the children moving into kindergarten in fall, 2014 tested in the 95th percentile or higher on Kindergarten entrance testing.
We have many FUMC members that volunteer at Hilltop Neighborhood House, donating time and dollars.
