That's the opinion of the Reading Eagle's editorial board in response to more than $100,000 in grants awarded to community groups in the region last week.
The First Foundation for the Community Partnership is a not-for-profit foundation whose board is made up of local business and political leaders.
The Eagle's editorial board calls the grants "big and small" that "can create a huge difference in communities across the region."
Among the recipients: A $15,000 grant to American Rescue workers to create a long-term work rehab program for homeless men, helping them get IDs, clothing, and transportation.

Other money was allocated to open doors for special needs individuals to participate in an inclusive performance of the Nutcracker at a children's theater, school meal programs, load up on bilingual books for a
