Thanks to United Way, Magnolia Specialized Services is able to provide reliable transportation to our children and adults in our day programs. Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department offers programs such as ours an opportunity to receive grants for the specialty vans that we use. The Federal Government pays 80% of the cost of the van and Magnolia Specialized Services is required to pay 20%. We use the money that we receive from United Way to go toward our 20% match.
