Hi John,
As our families stay home, as our schools will now remain closed, there
is growing concern for children and families at risk in our community.
With the stress on families, there is a realistic concern that we may
see a rise in abuse and domestic violence.
If you are able to donate at this time, I urge you to prioritize your
contributions to local organizations working to continue to support
families.
We have listed some below.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley - Several
clubs are open to support our healthcare, first responder and essential
worker families. They are also working with school districts to ensure
vulnerable youth receive emotional and academic support. Â
Big Brothers, Big Sisters -
They continue to provide meetings with Bigs via virtual meetups. As a
former Big Sister, I know the power of this program on young lives in
need.
Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence
- Sexual and domestic violence service
organizations around the state are continuing to provide services, but
under increasingly difficult circumstances. Immediate needs include
paper products, sanitizing products, diapers and baby wipes. Monetary
donations assist in offsetting increased costs associated with this
pandemic.
Arizona Community Foundation has also created the Arizona COVID-19
Community Response Fund
to support a number of Arizona non-profits helping our families during
this time.
Please let me know if we can provide any additional information or if
you need any help during this time.
If you know of an organization that needs support, let us know and we'll
continue to share via email as well as in our new ConnectAz community.
Stay safe,
Anita
