CLAREMONT — During the season of giving, TLC Family Resource Center received a special gift from The Rite Aid Foundation, which is helping the agency to continue making a difference in the lives of children in our community.
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media, and to celebrate, The Rite Aid Foundation has generously gifted TLC with a $5,000 grant as part of its KidCents Thanks For Giving Holiday program.
TLC will be using this grant for the parenting program.
“We are very happy to have the on-going support of the Rite Aid Foundation. The KidCents grant will be used to help make it possible for us to support our parent educators who work with families throughout Sullivan and Lower Grafton counties,” said Executive Director Maggie Monroe-Cassel. “The Parent Education Programs (PEP) are a major part of the work we do. It has a significant impact on families, helping them stay together and become more resilient.”
The Rite Aid Foundation created the KidCents Thanks For Giving Holiday program to help them support their efforts to improve the health, safety and well-being of local kids. In total, The Rite Aid Foundation donated $2.2 million to more than 440 charities as part of this program.
“#GivingTuesday is a global celebration of giving, and on this day, we wanted to recognize our KidCents charities for all they do to make positive impact in the communities we serve,” said Tracy Henderson, director of The Rite Aid Foundation and charitable giving initiatives. “Through the KidCents Thanks For Giving Holiday program, we want to recognize and support organizations that are focused on giving all year round. We thank all our KidCents charity partners for helping to give kids better lives and brighter futures.”
TLC looks forward to a continuing partnership with KidCents. Anyone can participate in supporting TLC throughout the year by designating TLC to receive the round up donation people can make through their Rite Aid Wellness + Rewards Card. Cards are available at all Rite Aid stores.
