Halifax County – South Boston Public Library, 2020 CFDRR Summer Reading Program Grant Recipient
According to HCSBPL: Without the funds from this grant, the library would not have been able to acquire the number of new books for children and teens that were purchased. We would not have been able to buy the craft kits and craft supplies that the children enjoyed. This grant enabled our 2020 Summer Reading Program to withstand the pandemic.

House of Hope, Inc., 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to HOH: We are a faith-based, temporary homeless shelter serving Danville, Virginia and Pittsylvania County. For the past 10 years, the House of Hope has provided a safe refuge for those who don’t have a place to stay and who are in need of transitional assistance. The costly roof repair, supported by the grant, allowed us to provide a safe and secure environment for our guests. The grant allowed the shelter to focus its operational budget on helping those in need.
