Today, there are so many people in need with the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis. Not everyone is able to give to others, but for those who are this is an incredible time to open your wallet and your heart. Where do you begin to help in these days and months of crisis?
Certainly, we can’t cover all of the organizations that are helping people. But one organization that is worth a look is Inner City-Inner Child. This initiative has the goal of improving the quality of academic life for children from 0-5 in the Washington D.C. area and in their most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. They started in 1987 by bringing concert music to low-income neighborhoods and realized, through this initiative, that “young children had the greatest unmet needs in our community.”
Inner City-Inner Child was created in 1994 and works to integrate the arts with academics to help early childhood education in the D.C. area. With today’s inauguration, D.C. might be just the place to start focusing on our youngest citizens and their needs.
