SWOH AMERI-CORPS FALLOUT

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, LEADERS AT ONE CHARITY GROUP ARE PREDICTING CUTS TO TWO COMMUNITY SERVICE EFFORTS IF PRESIDENT TRUMP GUTS ONE MAJOR NATIONAL PROGRAM. 
LEADERS AT CATHOLIC CHARITIES SAY CANCELING AMERI-CORPS WILL FORCE THE DISMANTLING OF TWO PROGRAMS: FOSTER GRANDPARENTS -- AND SENIOR COMPANIONS. FOSTER GRANDPARENTS IS AN OFFICIAL WAY OF CONNECTING GRANDPARENT-AGE PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN, IN SCHOOLS. SENIOR COMPANIONS CONNECTS SENIORS WITH OTHER TYPES OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE C-E-O OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES TELLS THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER EACH DOLLAR FOR THE PROGRAMS IS SPENT WISELY.
