AT&T recently announced a $2,500 contribution to Vaughn-Trent Community Services Inc., which will help fund the social service agency’s efforts to assist people with basic needs who reside within the Bonner Springs-Edwardsville school district, USD 204.

“We are grateful for AT&T’s support and for its longstanding commitment to advancing Kansas communities,” said Charles Thomas, chairperson of the Vaughn-Trent community Services Board of Directors.

“Vaughn-Trent Communities Services strives to provide a hand up to those in need and AT&T’s support is a great help in making sure that they can continue providing emergency assistance to those who are among the most vulnerable in our community,” said state Rep. Tom Burroughs, D-33rd Dist.

Vaughn-Trent Community Services Inc., which recently celebrated its 25-year anniversary of helping the community, provides a number of emergency assistance services to Wyandotte residents, including food, clothing, utility aid, shelter and school supplies.

“From helping young people succeed in school to lending a hand to neighbors in need, these things go to the heart of who we are as a company and AT&T’s commitment to the communities in which we live, work and serve,” said AT&T Kansas President Mike Scott. “We are proud to support Vaughn-Trent Community Services’ efforts with this contribution.”
