JOPLIN, Mo. — Three Joplin nonprofits are the recipients of $175,000 worth of grant money from the Philanthropic Society of Joplin. The money was handed out last week. Those organizations receiving the funds include the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Missouri, Children's Haven, and Higher Power Garage. The leaders of each of those entities explain how they will use that money. 'This program is primarily towards single parents at the moment or families that have children in the home, and they have to be working a minimum of 30 dollars a week, they have to attend both our Auto Maintenance Class and our Budgeting Class, they have to submit a budget showing they can afford the vehicle, insurance, maintenance,' said Mike Gideon, Higher Power Garage.
