Civic organizations are stepping forward to cover some of a $30,000 shortfall in After-School
Activities Program’s operating budget after pleas for city funding netted less than half requested.
El Campo’s Rotary Club is among those helping youngsters attending the program that welcomes attendees without cost. Based at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, After-School Activities Program, a non-profit organization, started in 1991 and provides food, homework help and a safe place to be for students after school from Monday to Wednesday. Donations to ASAP can be coordinated at 713-480-5245.
