The Ferguson Community Center is celebrating a recent improvement made possible through the generous support of the Community Foundation of Marshall County and Keep Iowa Beautiful.

The Community Center received grant funding to help give the playground equipment a much-needed refresh. The playground is a well-loved and frequently used asset in Ferguson, providing a place for local children and families to play and enjoy time together.

Thanks to the grant, Megan Seymour of Seymour Painting put her skills to work painting the playground equipment and giving it a fresh, renewed appearance. Her work is a great example of a local business giving back and helping make a direct difference in the community.

The playground is used often, and keeping it safe and looking its best is an important investment for Ferguson’s children and families.

The Ferguson Community Center is grateful to the Community Foundation of Marshall County and Paint Iowa Beautiful for recognizing the importance of this project and providing funding to make it possible. The Center is also incredibly thankful to Megan Seymour and Seymour Painting for helping bring new life to a space that means so much to the community.

Projects like this show what can happen when community funding, local businesses, and dedicated volunteers work together. Even a small improvement can have a lasting impact when it benefits a space that is used by so many people.

The Ferguson Community Center is proud to continue investing in its facilities and creating a place where residents can gather, children can play, and the community can come together.

Starting at /week.
