We have good news!
The Ken W. Davis Foundation just awarded NEW DAY $5,000!
NEW DAY recently applied for a grant from the Ken W. Davis Foundation. This week Martha Kinard, NEW DAY Board President, announced that a $5,000 grant came through on April 18, “It is wonderful to see that other organizations recognize the great work NEW DAY is doing. Thank you to Cullen Davis, President of the Ken W. Davis Foundation.”
COVID 19 has added to the need to provide weekend food bags as students are at their schools or at home, and parents or guardians have become unemployed or underemployed and food needs have become even more of a challenge. The combined numbers of homeless, at-risk children and the number of area Arlington schools served, has resulted in a dynamic and shifting need that NEW DAY responds to on a weekly basis.
The availability of having weekend food and supplies is invaluable for these youth. This is especially crucial because there is no emergency drop-in shelter for teens in Arlington; youths without a place to stay over the weekend may be subjected to serious food insecurity because they must move from place to place.
The Ken Davis Foundation grant to the NEW DAY Weekend Food Program will pay for over 1,200 weekend food bags towards our efforts to enhance student abilities to learn.
