$550,000 to the Harrisburg YMCA to construct a second-level mezzanine and expand multipurpose areas to increase the Friendship YMCA’s capacity for programming. Once completed, these improvements will allow up to 150 additional youth and teens to participate in mentoring and leadership programs and provide opportunities for 200 more seniors to engage in workforce development, learning, and social activities.
$376,000 to the Susquehanna Township Authority for the construction of Phase 1 of the Wedgewood Hills Park, which includes expanding the parking area with ADA designated spaces, new age-segregated playground, pavement games, and more.
$300,000 to Friends of Union Green for the Union Green Park development project. The project involves the construction of a public green space to provide the community with a year-round recreational space for public gatherings and events.
$75,000 to The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank to purchase a refrigerated truck that will serve a 14-county area.
$72,165 to Susquehanna Township to support the Beaufort Hunt Playground.
$50,000 to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Inc. to construct secure two-door entrances for the Interfaith Shelter and Evergreen House in Lower Paxton Township.

“I’m proud to support programs and projects that reflect the diverse needs of our incredible community,” said Fleming. “Our neighbors of all ages deserve a space to play, learn, and feel safe and supported in. This grant funding does that by turning local priorities into real, measurable progress.”
