Why Your Gift Matters
Lack of Quality Childcare costs Saline County $3.3 Million every year.
As a nonprofit entity, we are self-sustaining. This means there are no property tax increases or bonds that can be issued to fund Friend Learning Center. In fact, the center will help attract dollars to our area by making it a more desirable place to live and raise a family. Offering a hometown lifestyle to young families increases demand for housing in the Milligan area, which strengthens home values and spurs residential construction.
In short, your investment will return by fueling immediate economic growth and community development and help generations of children in our communities be more successful in school and life.
