We are very excited to share that Best of the Batch Foundation is growing! It has been a fantastic 14 years in our buildin. However, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve more children with our 33,000 square foot expansion.
Our new state-of-the-art educational center will allow us to develop new programs along with expanding current programs, including year-round Out of School Time programming, mentoring, tutoring, STEAM Lab, Grub Time Meals, Homework Club, BatchPacks, Girl Talk, Project C.H.U.C.K., Batch A Toys, and much more.
Because of our supporters, these are just a few of the many areas of growth we celebrate with our kids every day.
