The post you've all been waiting for - on behalf of The Walnut Grove Board of Directors, we want to extend a HUGE Thank You to everyone who sponsored, donated, attended, volunteered, and even spread the word about the 2023 Swing, Wine, & Dine Fundraiser.

We are thrilled to announce that we have raised nearly $20,000 toward the purchase and installation of the We-Go-Swing (Wheelchair Accessible Swing) we are looking to add to our facility.

This means we have raised 65% of our $100,000 Goal!

We could not have accomplished this without our dear friends at Storage & More Of Canfield - Tony & Team, thank you so much for your unwavering support and for being an incredible neighbor to us after all of these years.

Thank you to HK Concrete - you've been a great friend and partner to us as we've continued to grow and we're so thankful for you.

Countrywide Paving, Ohio Cat, The Rich Center for Autism, Yurchyk & Davis Certified Public Accountants, & Farmers National Bank - thank you for your support and encouragement throughout this process. We are so appreciative!

To all of our basket raffle donors, art auction artists, volunteers, and attendees - THANK YOU. Our work as an organization could not be possible without you.
