Greenhouse Project: 

“Our family spent a few days (weekends) assembling the greenhouse, building the garden boxes and filling them with soil. It proved to be more work than anticipated but a project the whole family is excited about (including my dad who has indicated what he wants to grow). Cucumbers and strawberries are a favorite for our 11-year-old, and he is thrilled to see those plants are starting to grow quickly.” 

Youth Basketball: 

“I would just really like to thank the TWNCS for the funding to support my daughter in pursuing her love of basketball. She was able to keep playing the sport she loves and continue to build skills and relationships. I believe she will take what she learned from her coaches and teammates with her into future life events and sports.” 

E-bike for Health and Wellness: 

“I’ve been feeling better and losing some weight—my main focus is to better my health at my age. A highlight of my project (an e-bike) is not having to depend on a ride or the bus, so I feel a sense of freedom.” 

Community Weaving Project: 

“Our goal is to give students the tools and teachings to continue weaving after their first project is finished and to build capacity in the next generations and generations to come.” 

Youth Soccer: 

“I’m thankful for the TWN Community Society because it’s putting money towards what I want to work on in the future and where I’m trying to get with life. I’m trying to get more experience for my passion for sport (soccer). I’m thankful for my community for always supporting what I do. Thankful for the new friendships and new experiences.” 

Swimming Lessons for TWN kids: 

“Learning to swim is a nonnegotiable for our kids. With living so close to the water and spending many weekends boating up Indian Arm, it is essential that our boys are comfortable and competent around the ocean. Having access to funds to cover swimming lessons has provided a huge relief to us as parents. We are so grateful for these funds as they are keeping our kids safe!” 

“I like going off the slide and jumping off the side of the pool into the deep end and collecting toys at the bottom of the pool.”
