We love seeing this kind of impact in action! Screen-Free Activity Stations are now up and running at several businesses across Morton, giving kids something better to do than stare at a phone or tablet while they wait...creativity, conversation, and hands-on learning instead.

MCF was proud to support this project with a $1,300 Community Grant, and we're grateful to the Morton Public Library for helping to facilitate the project too.

Big thanks to the local businesses hosting a station: Bob Grimm Chevrolet, Great Clips, Leaves 'n Beans Coffee - Morton, Adore Bridle, and Four30 Scones. And if your kids fall in love with something they find at a station, all the items were sourced from Lulu's On Main - Morton...so stop in and support them too!

Next time you're out and about in Morton, keep an eye out for a station near you.
