EMERGENCY FUNDS NEEDED NOW IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19
$1,000 Assures that necessities such as food, diapers, clothing and household goods are always available to Ballard clients in emergencies. A pledge in this amount, which is just $83 per month, or less than $3 a day, supports the 4,272 clients who made a visit to our pantry in 2019.
$500 Covers the cost associated with assuring a family has heat when the first freeze hits. 543 family members received financial assistance such as rent or utility assistance from Ballard’s Emergency Services in 2019.
$200 Will keep our seasonal events alive, which include Holiday Bureau, T.O.Y.S and kindergarten graduation.
$100 Provides our classrooms with adequate supplies such as crafts, books, rugs, and sleeping mats.
