Denison Leadership constructs new playground for Texoma Family Shelter
DENISON, Texas (KTEN) - Leadership Denison lent a hand at the Texoma Family Shelter building a new playground.
The shelter has been around for 36 years; currently nine children are housed at the shelter. City staff got to work installing a new basketball goal, new fencing, and swing sets.
According to Daphne Levenson, Texoma Family Shelter's Executive Director, about 8,000 went into the project including a grant to the city.
"Childhood is difficult enough but childhood when you're homeless is even more so, so to give them a safe place to play and fun things to do to get their minds off their problems is priceless," Levenson said.
