Medina County <strong>Community</strong> Fund grants motivate residents.<br />
A $ 4,000 grant supported Children’s Hospital Medical Center’s Reach<br />
Out and Read program, which provides free books to patients at two<br />
pediatric offices in Medina County. As a result, some of the county’s<br />
youngest residents will be inspired to pursue a lifetime of learning.<br />
The Medina County <strong>Community</strong> Fund promotes philanthropy and<br />
lasting support for local cultural, educational and health care programs.<br />
Open dialogue makes for strong growth.<br />
Salvation Army’s Girl Talk encourages young women to embrace their<br />
development through candid discussion. A $ 1,332 grant funds the<br />
program, which explores the sexual attitudes of mothers and daughters,<br />
and promotes responsible decision-making and positive self-image.<br />
