Batesville, IN—The Ripley County Community Foundation has announced the winner of the $2,000 Linda S. Phaneuf Women in Philanthropy Grant.
The National Youth Advocate Program in Versailles is working in collaboration with upcoming South Ripley Junior-Senior High School Senior, Carly Zoller on her Pay It Forward project. The money will be used to build bunk beds and to purchase mattresses and bedding. These beds will be given to licensed foster families who would like to increase the number of foster children in their homes. Later this fall, they will be reaching out for volunteers led by Matzet Designs to construct and finish the beds. The project is called Community-Build-A-Bed.
