To the editor:

A heartfelt thank you to the Hillsboro Community Foundation’s Hillsboro Area Impact Fund for the grant of $500 recently awarded to the AGAPE (All Goessel Area Projects for Elderly) Senior Center in Goessel.

The senior center has a nutrition center and provides social opportunities for the elderly in the community. The grant will be used to help purchase and install an automatic door opener, making the facility more accessible for the elderly.

We thank all those who made this fund possible and for sharing with a neighboring Marion County community.

Secretary, AGAPE Senior Center Board
