Students from Ranken Technical College and employees from Boeing donated time last weekend to build a playground at the Fatherhood Initiative in North St. Louis. The playground equipment was purchased through a grant with Cardinals Care, the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis and Old Newsboys. Many local fathers are separated from their children because of unemployment, mental or physical health issues or through divorce. The Fatherhood Initiative Program provides a place where fathers can spend quality time with their children, so they built a playground on their campus.
