The Heart and Hands Thrift Shop recently gave a grant to the Greater Meredith Program Career Partnership Program. An award-winning program, the GMP Career Partnership Program is a private partnership between the GMP and the Inter-Lakes School District providing students the opportunity to explore future careers through job shadowing and internships.
The Heart and Hands Thrift Shop, operated by local Meredith churches, St. Charles, Trinity Church and the First Congregational Church, has supported many programs at the Inter-Lakes schools and for other organizations. It has donated more than $120,000 back to the community and area.
Chris Kelly, chairman of the GMP Career Partnership Program, thanked the Heart and Hands Board for this recent grant and voiced his deep appreciation for their support of the Career Partnership Program.
