Donations allow nonprofit child care center to purchase vans

Discovery Developmental Center is wrapping up its year-long Van Campaign with the successful purchase of a Ford Transit 12-passenger van, and funds available in the bank to purchase a second van in the coming months.  

Kicked off in November 2022 by a $5,000 donation from First Interstate Bank’s Ambassador Program, the center spent most of 2023 raising funds to purchase two newer passenger vans to replace the aging vans utilized in the past 15 years.  

“Since 1992, Discovery has been teaching children about the local community through field trips, utilizing a variety of different transportation options over the years,” says Director Collette Box. “Replacing our current vans became a safety and financial priority, and with the help of our generous and supportive families and community, we will be able to continue offering field trip experiences to future children as well.”
