The Next Urgent Need
Last year, our community responded to the Fierce Urgency of Now, raising more than $60,000 to help local families facing food insecurity. Today, families are facing the next urgent need.
Recent federal child care funding cuts reduced Utah's child care assistance funding by $22 million. More than 900 Utah families are expected to lose assistance while demand for affordable child care continues to rise. These decisions may have been made in Washington, but the impact is being felt here at home.
Parents are being asked to do more with less. Families are paying more for care. Opportunities are becoming harder to reach. At Neighborhood House, parents tell us our programs help them: Remain employed Focus at work Pursue education and training Build financial stability Because affordable child care isn't just care. It's the foundation that allows families to work, learn, and thrive.
Our goal is to raise $75,000 by Giving Tuesday to help keep opportunity within reach for local families.
Thank you!
