The microgrant will significantly offset the increased cost of supplies and food for the children we serve. Most of our parents are the essential workers who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. They work nights, have multiple jobs, are healthcare aides, and emergency workers whose work responsibilities have significantly increased over the past three months or who have lost income themselves. With school closures, we made a commitment to remain open and provide our kids with the much needed sense of safety and security for them and their parents and guardians in these turbulent times.
