Literacy Center asks for gifts to match grant

Thanks to a $6,000 challenge grant, every dollar the Adult Literacy Center of Ozaukee County receives through Dec. 31 will be matched, up to $6,000.

Bob and Jan Blazich, the Endowment fund at Grace Lutheran Church-Grafton and the Zaun Foundation are making the grant .

The ALC helps its students work toward completing their high school equivalency exam, improving their general education skills, learn English as a second language or gain their U.S. citizenship, including three in 2019. 

Literacy Center students come from every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Education levels vary from pre-reading skills to a student who recently received her Ph.D.

Gifts to the ALC are tax deductible and can be made online at ​www.AdultLiteracyOZ.org​ or mailed to the Adult Literacy Center, 715 Sixth Ave., Grafton, WI 53024.
