When disaster hits, children are too often those most impacted by the fallout. As we battle a global pandemic, vulnerable children across the country are facing loss, fear, hunger, and hardship--and those struggles will only grow as this crisis continues to unfold.
America's children can weather this storm, but only if they and their families have access to the resources and support they need to make it through.
That's why I want you to know that in this moment, the Children's Defense Fund is unwavering in our mission: to make sure the voices of children are heard and the needs of families are met with urgency. As we quickly adapt to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, here's what that looks like:
1. We're redirecting our policy advocacy, at the federal and state levels, to get children and their families the support they need to survive this crisis.
2. We're retooling our community-based programs like CDF Freedom Schools® to leverage virtual training and distance learning so that we can continue to provide essential education and enrichment for children across the country this summer.
3. We're ramping up our public education and outreach to make sure families know how to access life-saving resources and how best to support children through this difficult time.
To make sure we can quickly and effectively meet the needs of children in this unprecedented moment, we created the Children in Crisis Fund. When you make a gift to the Children in Crisis Fund today, you're helping make sure vulnerable children will not get left behind as our country responds to this pandemic: [link removed]
For nearly 50 years, the Children's Defense Fund has stood up and spoken out for children. We will not waver from that mission in the face of this crisis. Please consider making a gift of any amount to the Children in Crisis Fund to support this critical work: [link removed]
With gratitude,

Chief Development Officer
