Community Improvement Council – Head Start, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to CIC: Even though we are uncertain of the degree to which COVID has placed stress on our children and families, we are certain it had an impact on social and emotional development. Teaching staff completed five weeks of the Conscious Discipline course, funded by CFDRR, giving real life examples on how to be proactive and not reactive to behavior problems. The teaching staff now have additional resources to support students experiencing the effects of traumatic events. We believe this training and curriculum was implemented in our program at the perfect time.

Halifax County – South Boston Public Library, 2020 CFDRR Summer Reading Program Grant Recipient
According to HCSBPL: Without the funds from this grant, the library would not have been able to acquire the number of new books for children and teens that were purchased. We would not have been able to buy the craft kits and craft supplies that the children enjoyed. This grant enabled our 2020 Summer Reading Program to withstand the pandemic.
