WVC Foundation Receives Grant to Address Student and Youth Homelessness

The following is a press release from the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation

The Wenatchee Valley College Foundation received a $19,268 grant from the Washington State Student and Youth Homelessness COVID-19 Response Fund. The fund is a partnership between Building Changes and the Raikes Foundation.

The foundation will use the grant to address the changing needs of WVC students including housing, food, basic needs, technology, and childcare.

“We are extremely grateful for the grant from the Washington State Student and Youth Homelessness COVID-19 Response Fund,” said WVC Foundation Executive Director Rachel Evey. “Though WVC received significant federal funds, there is a large population of students that were ineligible. Through the Response Fund's support, we are able to serve more WVC students equitably and inclusively.”
