The Pfleiderer Charitable Trust donated $1,000 to Kosciusko County Educational Development (KC-Ed), an organization designed to keep students in school and working toward graduation through the work of graduation coaches and mentors.

The trust was established by Esther Pfleiderer to assist charitable organizations in Kosciusko County in improving the quality of life in the County. Esther was born and raised in Warsaw and taught math for 39 years in the Warsaw school system. She also was very active in the community serving on the boards of the Salvation Army, Warsaw Community Public Library, Kosciusko County Community Foundation, Kosciusko County Historical Society and the ministries of the First Presbyterian Church. 

In 1982 she was recognized as Warsaw’s Woman of the Year. Grant applications are available from the First Source Bank Personal Asset Management Group offices at 120 South Lake Street Warsaw. The next deadline for grant applications is September 30. For more information, contact John Elliott (574) 268-1207.
