HOYLETON — Hoyleton Youth & Family Services (HYFS) is thrilled to announce it has received a transformative $60,000 grant from The Maschhoffs Impact to fully fund the creation of an All-Abilities Playground — a first-of-its-kind inclusive play space designed for children of every ability.
The playground, to be located on HYFS’s therapeutic residential campus, will provide a safe, welcoming environment where all children — regardless of physical or developmental challenges — can play, explore, and thrive together.
