(SINTON, TX – MAY 8, 2023) –– The Security Service Charitable Foundation donated $2,500 to San Patricio County Adult Literacy Council of Sinton, Texas. This donation will be used to help 15 students receive GEDs by covering the cost of required study materials and exams.
“San Patricio County Adult Literacy Council provides a great opportunity to adults who aspire to improve speaking, reading, and writing skills,” said Linda R. Medellin, executive director for San Patricio County Adult Literacy Council. “This donation from the Security Service Charitable Foundation means we can continue providing students with a quality learning process so they can acquire a GED.”
The Security Service Charitable Foundation’s donation will help San Patricio County Adult Literacy Council pay for the GED exams for the students along with the study book.
