While we all struggle as a country with challenges during this crisis, the fact is that thousands of clients still depend on us for critical services every day.
You can make a difference for those who especially struggle in times of crisis - teen moms with small children, the elderly and those with mental and development disabilities who are now isolated from friends and family, and foster children. Help us continue to provide the same level of services they so dearly need and rely upon.As the coronavirus spreads, and with nearly 1,800 employees, it is likely that staff working in our communities will be impacted. Unlike most for-profit organizations, nonprofits like Ascentria, do not have the same level of discretionary resources for expenses related to a crisis like this pandemic.
Every dollar granted, donated, or earned goes back into the community immediately to address clear and present problems. Non-profits are not able to make the financial commitment to pay for benefits like additional sick leave and backup childcare for employees. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality of the non-profit sector. Our employees are the soul of our organization, working on the front lines to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve and they too need this support.
Your donation and support during the coronavirus pandemic is one way to ensure our clients continue to receive critical, high quality services while also thanking staff impacted by the coronavirus while on the front lines providing care.
