Scranton, Pa. – Goodwill Industries of Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) has received $4,000 in grant funding from the Scranton Area Community Foundation’s Spring 2024 Community Needs grant cycle to help fund improvements to its existing Community Participation Supports (CPS) program space in Dickson City.
Awarded in April 2024, the funding will help Goodwill Industries of NEPA replace existing flooring to create a safe and accessible space that improves mobility for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who participate in the CPS program. Goodwill’s CPS program is a licensed day service designed to enhance an individual’s independent skills both in the center and in the community.
Goodwill Industries of NEPA is a private non-profit community-based organization that has been serving the region for over 80 years and strives to strengthen lives, families, and communities one person at a time.
The Scranton Area Community Foundation has served as a steward, grantmaker, charitable resource, and catalyst for change since 1954. More information about the Scranton Area Community Foundation can be found at www.safdn.org.
