Your Weekly Action Alert:
Working Connections
Funding for state-subsidized
childcare for low-income, working families is in danger of dramatic
cuts. To protect this program, families need to know that this subsidy
is available and get connected with the agencies that can sign them up. LEARN MORE...

ACT NOW!
Help save Working Connections by getting the word out to eligible families that there is no waitlist for this program that can help them provide safe, affordable care for children while parents go to work.
We all know that families that rely on hunger relief programs to put food on their tables have tremendously constrained household budgets. Childcare is an expense that working parents cannot forgo. If families receive subsidies from Working Connections, then parents can work, earning money to help pay for food and other basic needs, with the peace of mind that their children are safe and cared for. Please help get the word out about this important program so that eligible families can connect with agencies that can sign them up for this service. Please print out and post the attached flyer in community spaces such as public libraries, community center bulletin boards, and food banks. Help connect families to this important program and help make a difference. View/Print Working Connections Flyer |
