A heartfelt thank you to Bedford Community Health Foundation for their grant to help provide snacks for the children who attend Living Arts Afternoons, Sedalia's free after-school program offered during the school year for elementary aged children.

It may seem simple, but a good snack after school makes a big difference!

We are so grateful for this support and for the Foundation’s continued investment in the health and well-being of children and families in our community. ❤️

A big thank you to the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce for offering yesterday's marketing workshop!

It was such a refreshing opportunity to connect and collaborate with other local nonprofits and businesses. I left feeling inspired and with a very real “to-do” list. Always grateful for chances to learn, grow, and bring fresh ideas back to The Sedalia Center.
