Grant Impacts

A Helpers Community Inc’s 2023 grant provided infrastructure support to renovate Camp Via West, an affiliate of Ability Path’s, Sports Field, Cupertino, CA. It is all set for campers with differing needs and abilities to participate in having fun, enjoying the outdoors, and learning new skills.

At Creativity Explored, SF, CA a 2023 Helpers’ grant provided a new kiln for the Art Studio. Ricardo Estella, a Creativity Explored artist, has created an amazing dragon sculpture using the new kiln.
