LEWISTON — After two-and-a-half weeks and more than 3.4 million votes, State Farm recently announced that the Tree Street Youth Center will receive a $25,000 grant for its Unity Through Enrichment program to improve the Lewiston community.

“The $25,000 would specifically go to help enhance our after-school program by providing funding for enrichment teachers, resources/supplies for classes, as well as operating support,” Executive Director Julia Sleeper said in a statement.

The grant was presented May 17 at the program graduation ceremony. Unity Through Enrichment was one of 3,000 submissions received through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, a crowd-sourced philanthropic initiative that relies on nonprofit organizations to create solutions to community issues identified by Facebook users.

The State Farm Youth Advisory Board, a diverse group of 30 students who are passionate about social responsibility, reviewed the submissions and selected the 200 finalists based on criteria they created.

From April 4 through 22, the Facebook community was encouraged to vote for its favorite cause. About 100,000 people took to Facebook during the nearly three-week period; Unity Through Enrichment received more than 47,200 votes, the 23rd most votes in the program.
