NEW! Phase 2 - Seeking direct input from residents in our community
|
|
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your responses to our recent surveys! They continue to play a significant role in our ability to support our community through this crisis.
During Phase 2 of our relief efforts we are also seeking direct input from residents in our community. Given that we cannot meet with groups of residents at this time, we prepared a brief survey to collect additional information about what they may be struggling with as a result of lost income, social distancing requirements, their health risks, social inequities and biases, and any barriers to accessing resources. We need to hear from them, and YOU can help us to reach as many residents as possible.
- If you have a means of communicating with residents via email or text, please encourage them to complete our brief survey by directing them to www.cfcbr.org/survey/. We have prepared our survey in English and Spanish (Cuestionario Comunitario). All responses will be kept confidential.
- Residents may also call Cristina Casado at 540-213-2150 to answer survey questions. Cristina can assist Spanish-speaking residents as well.
- You may also send or print a PDF version of our survey for residents to complete. Residents may return their completed survey to you (Cristina will pick them up), or mail them to the Community Foundation (P.O. Box 815, Staunton, VA 24402).
- Print or email PDF in English
- Print or email PDF in Spanish
We would also like to ask you to consider posting this survey on your website and/or your social media outlets for the next two weeks. You can introduce the survey with this statement:
"The Community Foundation wants to know what matters most to YOU, particularly during these difficult times. One way your Community Foundation serves you is by getting financial resources to the organizations that can help you. We hear from them regularly, but it is important that they also hear directly from YOU."
In Spanish:
“Para saber cómo podemos ayudarle, necesitamos saber cuáles son sus necesidades, particularmente durante estos tiempos tan difíciles. Una manera como la Fundación puede apoyarle es ofreciendo recursos a las organizaciones comunitarias que lo pueden ayudar. Aunque estas organizaciones nos han informado sobre algunas necesidades, quisiéramos escuchar y aprender directamente de usted.”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

NEW! Pandemic EBT cards available for households
Information about the Pandemic
EBT payments for our students is attached (CLICK HERE). Dr. Barber sent out an email
and phone call about these upcoming benefits earlier today (May 12, 2020).
The
P-EBT benefit is for all WPS students who receive free & reduced
price meals, including all students at our three CEP schools; William
Perry, Wenonah, and Wayne Hills.
I am available to help with any questions that you may
have, although most information can be found on the P-EBT Virginia Webpage
It
is important that all households have the correct address listed in
PowerSchool. Incorrect addresses will cause a delay in
receiving benefits, as those students who are not currently
receiving benefits will have a physical card mailed to them.
Take care,
Laura

In past years, The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) has hosted in-person events to celebrate the day: youth speaker panel, movie screening, cookie break, tickets to a baseball game-just to name a few! This year, we're doing something a bit different.
While we are all following the Governor's Stay-at-Home Order, DBHDS did not want to miss the importance of celebrating Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our young persons mental health. The Office of Child and Family Services at DBHDS has created four info-graphics that you can share with families, stakeholders, or post on your social media accounts. These infographics can be viewed and downloaded here (bottom center of the page):

We encourage you to plan virtual events or reach out to families in your community during this difficult time and please share these info-graphics as you see fit along with your local resources to connect with families. If you are hosting a virtual event this year, we would love to know about it so we can promote it on our social media sites as well. We know this year is challenging for all of us, and we appreciate your continued commitment to our most vulnerable children and families.
