Project Homewood was founded in 2013 to help support the Extended Day Programs (EDP), as well as the numerous families in Homewood. We believe that EDP is such a beneficial program for children to experience, and that it can give them a jump start on success. We believe it because we've seen it. Our Board of Directors have a combined experience of over 50 years in the Extended Day Programs, and we have witnessed the positive effects that EDP can bestow a child too many times to count. We created the Sandra Vella Scholarship in honor of EDP's creator, Sandra Vella. She served for over 27 years in the Homewood City Schools system running the Extended Day Programs at Edgewood, Hall-Kent, and Shades Cahaba Elementary Schools. The Sandra Vella Scholarship will ensure that families throughout Homewood have the opportunity to allow their children to experience and attend EDP, no matter their financial situation. So please, help us make a visible difference in our community. Help us make a difference in the life of a family in need.
