Barbara Bush Foundation Awards $600,000+ in New Grants

Middle Tyger Community Center
Lyman, SC
$65,000
To support the Family Literacy Program, which equips disadvantaged families with the literacy and childcare skills necessary to become self-sufficient, productive members of the community. The grant will allow the Center to integrate more thoroughly the four basic components of family literacy programs into their service offerings, providing adult education services, early childhood education services, parent education services, and intergenerational literacy activities. Collaborating agencies, such as Spartanburg School District Five, will provide resources and referrals.
