Westminster, Vt. — New England Kurn Hattin Homes for Children recently received a $19,500 grant from the East Hill Foundation. The grant will support renovations to the sugar house, green house and barn, new and refurbished musical instruments and clothing for the children in the group’s care.
Kurn Hattin Homes said it is thankful for the foundation’s support to help it maintain the overall quality and upkeep of its facilities.
“The direct support of the clothing needs for our children is wonderfully meaningful,” the group said in a prepared release. “We’ve been arranging online and shopping excursions with the children. It is part of teaching life skills and building self-esteem. The children are thrilled to have new clothes that they’ve picked out themselves. Our music program is also a very important program in similar ways, and new instruments are needed annually.”
