(Aurora, Ind.) – The YES Home has received a generous grant to help support additional costs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $54,000 grant was received through the Lilly Endowment Youth Program Resiliency Fund.

The grant will be used for additional technology services, tutoring for e-learning and general operating expenses.

“With this support, the YES Home will be able to continue its commitment to the youth of southeastern Indiana,” said executive director Amy Phillips.

The YES Home has provided support to neglected children since 1981. They serve five counties, Dearborn, Ohio, Switzerland, Ripley and Franklin, providing family home-type settings for teenagers as an alternative to institutionalization.
