Published in community, Achievement by J. Nathan CorbittCreate! Achievement, BuildaBridge's new after-school initiative, opens today at Second Baptist Church of Germantown. Though a grant covers many of the costs, and the space is an incredible in-kind donation, there are still essentials to ensure quality programming for children living below the poverty line (Create! Achievement is free, like all our programsto vulnerable communities). Here is a list of our current needs. Feel free to Donate through GroundSpring. (Click the tab at the end of this article.)
