Care Enough to Share
Did you know the Meridian Parks and Recreation Department runs a scholarship program called Care Enough To Share? The program gives some Meridian kids the chance to participate in the City’s activities where in many cases they may not otherwise be able to afford it. This account is funded in part through private donations and with summer quickly approaching the department is reaching out to the community to spread awareness about this cause. For more information or to donate, click here or email, recreations@meridiancity.org and give the gift of FUN!
