Message from the CEO – August 2021

This time last year we were talking about how much change that children and our other clients were undergoing because of the pandemic, such as depression, job loss, and a rise in substance misuse. Fast forward a year, and it’s hard to believe we’re still in the midst of a battle with the relentless COVID-19. I, like you, am very concerned that we find ourselves back here again.

Volunteer Spotlight: Harper Wrinkles and Kaylee O’Brien

Harper Wrinkles and Kaylee O’Brien have a lot in common. They’re both second-graders at Anchorage school, they’re best friends, and they share the same birthdate. It’s the latter of those facts that lead them to make a special request for their “shared birthday” this year. Instead of presents for themselves, they asked their friends to buy school supplies to donate to the kids at Bellewood & Brooklawn.
