Mercy and Truth Ministries donates to Yadkin County Education Foundation

In support of its mission to be a light of hope in the life of a child, Mercy and Truth Ministries co-founder and director Rebekah Simpson and board member, Tim Parks, presented a gift of $1,500 to Shallow Ford Foundation’s associate, Dr. Todd Martin, supporting the work of the Yadkin County Education Foundation.

The education foundation, a collaboration between the Shallow Ford Foundation and Yadkin County Schools, was created in recognition of the growing challenges teachers face in engaging students. As it grows, it will serve as a permanent source of supplemental funding to support classroom instruction, career education for at-risk students, and to provide resources for students needs that may arise through exceptional accomplishment.

“Mercy and Truth Ministries does tremendous work to support the children and citizens of Yadkin, Wilkes, and Surry counties” explained Martin. “We at the Shallow Ford Foundation are fortunate to be able to partner with organizations like Mercy and Truth to support our teachers and students. This gift will enable us to continue to fund innovative instructional grants so that teachers can continue to provide the highest quality of instruction to students.”

“There should be an education foundation in every county to support students and teachers” Simpson said. “Mercy and Truth is proud to support the students and teachers of Yadkin County Schools through this gift. We are excited about this opportunity and look forward to continuing to support the Yadkin County Education Foundation.”

The Yadkin County Education Foundation is a fund of the Shallow Ford Foundation, a nonprofit 501©(3) community foundation serving Yadkin County, Clemmons, and Lewisville. For more information or to support the Yadkin County Education Foundation, contact Todd Martin, todd@shallowfordfoundation.org.
