💚 A Grant in Action: Good Samaritan School
During our Fall 2025 grant cycle, the Defiance Area Foundation awarded a $5,000 grant to the Defiance County Board of Developmental Disabilities/Good Samaritan School to help update the countertops in the Good Samaritan School cafeteria.
Today, that grant is helping create a safer, cleaner and more efficient space for preparing and serving meals to students.
The updated countertops allow Good Samaritan School to better maintain high standards of safety and cleanliness while providing nutritious meals to the students they serve each day.
Jenna Pepper, Communications Manager, shared:
“Your continued investment in our community and in the students we serve truly makes a meaningful difference. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership and support.”
This is what a grant in action looks like. 💚 Sometimes community impact happens through large, visible projects. Other times, it happens through practical improvements that make an important space safer and more welcoming for the people who use it every day.
We’re grateful to the Defiance County Board of Developmental Disabilities and Good Samaritan School for the work they do to serve students and families throughout our community.
