Campaign Story
About the project
The project focuses on providing support to the youth of the community. The project provides solutions and breaks down barriers, increasing access to vaccines that will enable communities to not only recover, but thrive. We provide communities the support they need and build a future plan with them by being fully informed about the consequences of the pandemic.
Making a difference
CRY America’s Project Boys & Girls Club of America focuses on serving 4.3 million children. It works towards distributing food & protective supplies, providing emergency childcare for children of essential workers, supporting youth with access to technology and WiFi and other forms of emergency responses. It also provides solutions by addressing the months of interrupted learning, trauma, and the new safety and health risks caused by the pandemic.
