WHERE: Van Wert Arts Factory.

BRIEF ABOUT: This 2012 project provides gifts for area elderly affiliated with the Van Wert County Council on Aging (COA) Senior Center.  With the help of the community, over $2,000 worth of gifts and gifts cards were purchased locally for the Grateful Hearts Giving Tree, benefiting 110 seniors.  Arts Factory manager Tomi Jaycox says, “It is with a grateful heart that the Van Wert Arts Factory was able to provide this avenue to ensure the elderly will receive a gift during the holiday season.  Many area seniors are suffering not only from health issues, but financial needs as well.”
