Springfield Bartley-Decatur center receives donations after vandalism

View Comments
The Springfield community rallied this week to support a neighborhood center damaged by vandals who spray-painted the historic building with phallic symbols, scribbling and racial slurs.
Mark Dixon, executive director of the Bartley-Decatur Neighborhood Center, said the all-volunteer board has been overwhelmed by the volume of supportive messages, offers of help, and donations.
At this point, counting a grant that we re going to be receiving by way of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, we re right around $11,000, he said, noting the CFO grant is for $5,000. That was raised in, like, a day and a half.
Dixon said the center has received donations, ranging from $5 to $500, from at least 100 individuals or families. There has been an outpouring from the community, at large, that has just been amazing. ....
