A diverse community with many barriers to receiving services

Lack of Language accommodations

Lack of insurance

Lack of Understanding of Health and Social Service Systems

Fear of Immigration authorities

Moms Club

B’more Fit for Healthy Babies-Exercise and Nutrition

Community Breastfeeding Group

Parent Cafe

Community Celebrations

A diverse community with even morebarriers to receiving

services

Lack of Language accommodations

Unemployment

Lack of insurance

Lack of Understanding of Health and Social Service Systems

Under threat that active ICE roundups will begin again shortly

Fear of Immigration authorities

Community Partners band together to provide resources for families

• Group activities go virtual

• Phone calls video chats provide a lifeline to human contact and resource

• Families share resource information with one another

• Many groups providing food

• Other resources including diapers

• Delivery to families with transportation barriers or family members ill with COVID-19

But the human contact is still important

A Moms Club graduation during COVID 19 turns into a show of support for Precious Purple Sunday. This year’s theme:

“Little Black Lives Matter”

money and finances. They need to save

their money and not by all that expensive

stuff.”

“I design dresses. I can help get

young girls ready for prom.”

“I want to help young moms. I

have a Sam’s Club Card – I just

need a car.”

play basketball.”
