ACAF announces December grants
Staff reports
BELMONT ACCORD Corporation, the Division of Social Services, Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and the Fillmore Strong Food Program are among the organizations and efforts that benefited from the most recent Allegany County Area Foundation grants.
The Allegany County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired received a grant to replace its aging computer, which is used for record keeping, client service, and communication with clients and funders. This grant was provided through ACAF’s Shear Fund.
The Foundation’s Shop With A Cop Fund boosted two efforts to brighten the holidays for children and families, providing grants for ACCORD’s Community Angels Holiday Assistance Program and the Division of Social Services Foster Care Christmas Party.
Even in an injury-shortened freshman campaign, Mitch Ward made quite the impression on his Fillmore boys soccer coaches.
Ward spent a long stretch of the 2019 season sidelined with a shoulder injury, but still scored a Fillmore freshman-record 14 goals for a team that made the New York state Class D semifinal. But with three of the teamâs top four scorers (Levi and Tobias Webb and Ethan Peet) graduating last year, the Eagles needed a go-to scorer to emerge this fall.
âI was really bummed out last year because we were really pushing for a sectional title and I felt like I couldnât be there for my team while I was out with a shoulder injury,â Ward said. âBut this year, without having the Webbs and Peety (Ethan Peet) and all the seniors there to really carry us, I had to step up and make sure I was able to help my team win and try to get back to the place we were at last year.
