West End Community Foundation Inc

The Camp Calvary S.T.E.A.M. Summer Program provides a coed day camp which enhances the academic, social and mental well-being of youth ages six to twelve years. The primary focus is to continue the academic learning of students through the summer so that they do not fall behind in school upon returning in the fall. The program also exposes youth to S.T.E.A.M. hands-on activities, field trips, and speakers. In 2024, 45 campers were enrolled in the program. At the end of camp, 100% families stated that they would return for our educational programs the following year. 85% of families stated that their child learned a new skill. Families felt that the exposure to S.T.E.A.M. and social-emotional activities significantly helped their children.

The West End Free Market provides fresh and nutritious produce/dry goods to the community with an emphasis on serving elders and the disabled. In 2024, along with our partners, we distributed 43,000 pounds of food.
