GUILFORD — Friends of Community Fitness is pleased to announce that it has received a $1,000 grant from Dover-Foxcroft Kiwanis Charities in support of its Homeschool Open Gym program.

For over three years Community Fitness has hosted Homeschool Open Gym twice a week during the school year, offering a free, safe and welcoming space for families to stay active.
