Amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic, most of our GRACE families have lost their sources of income. With no reserve and very little government stipend assistance, families are experiencing increased levels of stress and challenge.
GRACE family resource centers provide scheduled access to the centers, in order to keep in compliance with the social distancing measures imposed by the government. The staff of GRACE are available as needed to provide access to the computer and internet as families submit registrations for potential government funds.
We look forward to schools resuming and the reopening of our normal afterschool activities at the GRACE family resource centers. Children will eagerly resume computer lab activities. When the social distancing ban lifts, the computers in our family resource center will serve as a practical resource as unemployed parents seek job opportunities. Our GRACE staff will be on hand to assist with basic computer skills.
The increased need provides an opportunity for GRACE to expand adult learning to parents seeking new post-pandemic careers.Your financial support will help purchase needed computers for small classroom settings.
Thanks for your ongoing and one-time support. Because of your support, we are grateful to provide opportunities to serve our communities and improve the outcome of many marginalized families. You provide practical hope.
