WGC Emergency Response Network Request - $500 - Can You Help?

3/22/2020

1 Comment

 

The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County is responding to a request for help providing diapers and wipes to teen moms, dads and their families in need, and we are hoping to raise $500 that we will match with $500 ... can you help?

Our Emergency Response Network is typically utilized for donations up to $1,000 to help an individual in need. However, during this unprecedented COVID-19 public health crisis, today we are inviting donations of up to $500 that the WGC will match, to help numerous teen parents in need.

Can you help? Any amount is appreciated.


You Can Donate Here

Additionally, Wilde Lake High School Principal, Marcy Leonard, has organized a diaper and wipe drop off tomorrow - Monday, March 23 at Swansfield Elementary from 10:45 am - 12:00 pm to support teen parents. Any kind of baby wipes are appreciated, and diapers in sizes 2,3,4 and 5 are needed - open packages are welcome.


Wilde Lake hosts the Teen Parenting Program for the entire county, so donations support students from across HCPSS, not just Wilde Lake. ​
Over a dozen teen moms, dads and their babies are in the program.

​These donations will be incredibly important in helping these students and their families focus their often-limited financial resources on other vital needs since they won’t have to worry about restocking diapers and wipes.


Thank you for any help you can provide!

The HCPSS Teen Parenting Program has supported teen parents in preparing for parenthood and caring for their children while continuing in school and earning diplomas. Bravo!
