In addition:
  • Accessing housing & emergency needs for our families
  • Acting as liaison for families who need housing & utilities assistance
  • Information regarding unemployment and underemployment
  • Referrals to assistance agencies
  • Employment & financial wellness workshops (virtually)
 
Mental wellness is of great concern for our families, in general, and especially at this time. The FRC team will be doing wellness check-ins with families and referring for support as needed.  We are also looking into hosting wellness calls for families to hear advice from wellness professionals on how to handle a myriad of conditions, that may arise from this experience.  
 
The FRC aims to be responsive to family’s needs and will work to adjust services as we better understand families greatest concerns during and after the closures. 
 
Right now our focus is on food security, housing security, mental health and financial/employment supports. 

Chromebook Appeal
​In partnership with NerdIT Now, Capital One, and YOU, the CEB wants to raise $10,000 to provide 225 Chromebooks to students at Kuumba Academy Charter School and Great Oaks Charter School- Wilmington, so they can receive the same continuity of learning opportunity as their more advantaged peers. The Chromebooks will allow for direct access to Google classroom and many other apps that our K-12 educators are using for content and instruction.

A $50 gift will buy one Chromebook for a student who needs it.....AND your gift will be matched by Capital One dollar for dollar! So if you pay for one Chromebook, Capital One will match it!
