Last year Brightpoint worked with over 30,000 children and families and your $2,500 gift will support programs such as our Early Childhood Care and Education and our family centers. This work ensures that our kids and families have the resources they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Your $1000 donation will support our Thriving Fathers & Families program, which engages dads in Chicago’s Englewood and North Lawndale communities, as well as in Bloomington and Rockford areas, to strengthen the bonds dads have with their children. This program provides life skills, parenting skills, and most importantly, peer support from other men, equally committed to doing the best they can for their kids.
Families can spend anywhere from $80-$100 per month per child on diapers and since the pandemic, diaper prices have increased 30%. Nationally, 1 in 3 caregivers are unable to afford this basic need. A task we often think of as simple – affording diapers – can prove to be extremely stressful for some of our families and impact their ability to go to work or school. Make a $500 donation to support our Ahlquist Center for Policy, Practice, and Innovation, which has a coalition of our parents, staff, and partner organizations to raise awareness about diaper access and tackle challenges around families meeting their basic needs through policy change.
Your $250 gift will support Mental Health and Wellness services which are offered in all four of our regions across the state. We take an exceptional amount of pride in this work we do in the Metro Region. This includes community and school-based therapy for our children and families.
Your $100 gift will support all areas of our work with youth and families, including those in our Child Welfare and Youth Services programs.
Thank you joining us as we invest in families to disrupt the systemic and multi-generational cycle of racial, social and economic inequality.
