WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Thanks to the Wichita County Action Network, All Hands Cultural Community Center officials can continue empowering the community's youth. George Senn, president of the Wichita County Action Network, presented All Hands officials with a $5,000 check on Thursday, April 3. Wichita Falls Housing Authority hosts early childhood fair for families Chief Operating Officer Ronnie Williams said this would be vital for summer programs like Green Paradise Garden. He said it will also help partnerships with United Regional and WFISD to provide education on medical emergencies and different classes. Williams said this ensures that children can utilize these services throughout the summer. 'This is a different organization in a different place. We're on the ground work with our kids in our community, and the way we teach them is totally different in other ways. So this check will give us an opportunity to provide more services and try to close the gaps with the problem that they're having in our community,' Williams said. Williams said that last year, they had about 120 kids sign up for their summer program. If that's something you'd be interested in doing for your kiddos, click here.
