Support Summer Health Across the Nation!
Summer is almost here, and with the warmer weather comes a desire for families to take vacations and enjoy new foods. Unfortunately for many families, summer means loss of reliable access to food and challenges with children experiencing the “summer slide” or loss of academic progress made during the school year. Experts warn that these issues will be especially pronounced during summer 2021 as a result of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through its Summer Health campaign, Common Threads is seeking to raise $15,000 to sustain its virtual and in-person programs through the summer, while also creating awareness around issues of nutrition security and the “summer slide,” or loss of academic progress from the previous school year. Learn more about how you can keep children engaged this summer in our blog post.
Join us in supporting our summer programs!
