St. Mary's Child Center

The eTapestry Foundation is delighted to announce its second grant to St. Mary’s Child Center, in Indianapolis, IN.

St. Mary's Child Center is a not-for-profit education center that is focused on helping young children who are at great risk for a wide range of social, emotional, economic and environmental problems and whose needs are not being adequately met by any other private or public service.

The goal of St. Mary's is to provide an opportunity for at-risk children to become successful, healthy and productive adults by fostering social, cognitive, physical, and emotional development. St. Mary's does this through two programs: the Diagnostic Clinic and Early Childhood Program.

The grant will provide breakfast and lunch for two children for an entire year. Most of the three to five year olds being served at St. Mary’s are poor and often arrive at school hungry. When children are not able to have their basic needs met and are hungry, all other areas of development are put at risk.

The provision of food also allows children to be nourished so that they can sing, dance, paint and play like other children. It allows children, who have been deprived of food at one time or another, to be sure that there is plenty of food for all (just one less thing to worry about).
