Charitable Foundation’s $10,000 donation to help renovate Tutoring Room
EL PASO, TX (February 5, 2015) -- Children will now have a new place to study and learn at the Lee & Beulah Moor Children’s Home thanks to a $10,000 donation from Security Service Federal Credit Union’s Charitable Foundation. The money will help with the renovation and remodeling of the Tutoring Room used by the 64 children who live at the home.
“Every child should be given the opportunity to reach his or her maximum potential,” said Mike Chapman, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Security Service Federal Credit Union. “By providing them the resources to learn in a newly renovated tutoring room, we are helping those children excel in school and in life.”
The children, ranging in age from 5 to 18, come to the home for different reasons. Some may receive behavioral assistance, others are there for counseling. In some cases, the children come to Lee & Beulah Moor Children’s Home because they have no suitable parent to care for them at their home. While there, they attend school and therefore need an area to study and do homework. That area is called the Tutoring Room, which will now receive a complete renovation.
“The tutoring room is the center of our after school activities program. It is where we help our children in care the most, so it is important that it looks its best,” said Renée Tanner, president and CEO of the Lee & Beulah Moor Children’s Home. “Now, through support provided by Security Service and its great team of individuals, our children will be even more excited to spend time learning in a wonderful environment.
The donation will provide new carpet, countertops, fresh paint, and new tables and chairs for the Tutoring Room and will be completed in the coming months.
