Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas was recently announced as the recipient of a $15,000 grant from Midwest Energy Inc.

This matching grant award will be used to support the renovation of the developmental center in Hoxie.

The renovation will make the center more functional, accessible, and community-focused for the people we serve in Sheridan County and surrounding counties who have developmental disabilities.

The renovation will change the floor plan to make room for much needed accessible bathrooms, laundry room, larger classroom space and a larger dining room area. While making these changes, a storm shelter is also planned.

“This generous grant award is a dollar-for-dollar matching grant opportunity. We are so grateful to Midwest Energy for supporting us with this grant. We extend our thanks to all who will join us in this matching effort," said Jerry Michaud, DSNWK president.

"This project, when complete, will have a practical and personal impact on the people we serve as well as the Hoxie community.

"Those interested in supporting our efforts, we are a phone call or an email away.”
