Help Build Reliable Childcare for Our Community
Tax deductible
Dear Community Member,
We are reaching out to address a critical need within our community: access to reliable childcare. As many of you know, the lack of childcare options presents a significant challenge for working parents and families. This can lead to tough choices between pursuing careers and ensuring proper care for their children. The lack of childcare in our communities serves as a barrier for growth and economic success.
We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to thrive while their parents are at work or engaged in educational pursuits. Having access to quality childcare not only benefits children by providing them with early learning opportunities and social interaction, but it also strengthens our community by enabling parents to contribute to the workforce and our local economy.
Our team, consisting of teachers, hometown locals, and community leaders is actively exploring solutions to address this critical need. While the exact details of a childcare center, program, or solution are still under development, we are confident that with your support, we can establish a much-needed resource for our community.
Even though the specific plan is not yet finalized, we are reaching out today to request your support. Whether the future of Rural Roots Childcare looks like a daycare location, after-school program, summer program, or any combination of the above, all options require funding. Your donation, no matter the size, will lay the foundation for this critical project. Funds raised will be used for crucial steps such as feasibility studies, property acquisition or renovations, and program/personnel development.
There are several ways you can contribute:
- Donate online: Use this GoFundMe platform.
- Send a check: Make checks payable to: Nuckolls County Foundation. Send checks to: Rural Roots Childcare, PO Box 367, Lawrence, NE 68957.
- Volunteer of time/talent/resources: Maybe you have an idea for a location, access to materials, or have an interest in working in a childcare setting. Any input or interest in helping find a solution would be greatly appreciated. Please reach out to the Rural Routes Childcare Board of Directors listed below.
- Spread the word: Share this letter with your employer, friends, family, and neighbors and encourage them to join us in supporting this important cause.
We understand that everyone's circumstances are different. Any contribution you can make will be deeply appreciated. Together, we can build a brighter future for our children and our community. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
The Rural Roots Childcare Board of Directors
