The Exchange Club of Springfield welcomed Deb McCullough from On The Rise. President-Elect Jerry Sewell presented a donation from our Foundation in the amount of $1,500 for their good work.
“Located in a unique country setting on an eight acre farm just in Springfield, Ohio, On The Rise serves at risk and underprivileged youth in Clark County struggling with family, social, educational, and behavioral issues. Their caring staff offers activities promoting responsibility, compassion, work ethic and positive self image. On a daily basis children and teens cook, clean, care for animals, sew and garden. Tutors provided by the Wittenberg Community Service Program are available to help with homework. On The Rise is funded through the Clark County Department of Job and Family Services, Springfield Foundation, Turner Foundation, United Way, Community Health Foundation, Wilson Sheehan Foundation, the Exchange Club of Springfield Foundation, and support from other community resources and fundraisers.”
