Ventura County Family Justice Center Secures $5,000 Community Grant
A $5,000 grant from the American Water Charitable Foundation will bolster Camp HOPE America – Ventura County, an initiative dedicated to fostering resilience in young survivors of trauma. The funding arrives as part of a national effort to support local programs that provide mentorship and safety for victims of violent crime.
Jessica Taylor, Director of Operations at California American Water, emphasized that the grant aligns with the company’s broader 'Keep Communities Flowing' program. This initiative focuses on high-impact projects across the company's service areas, specifically targeting the intersection of water access, social development, and community health. Since 2012, the American Water Charitable Foundation has contributed over $25 million to various regional causes, funded entirely by shareholders rather than utility rates.
