"STAY & PLAY"
The kids of Goodman finally have a place to stay and play in their own community!
YOU CAN STILL HELP THEM!
Tax deductible donations can be made at the Goodman City Hall.
All donations are put in a restricted account for the purchase of equipment, landscaping, and any additional needs of the playpark. We are currently saving for a slide!
Help us help our children! They deserve it!
If you only have a dollar or two to spare, you may purchase a "hand" with your name or the name of the child of your choice to be placed on the wall at City Hall.
