A
Here
in
aroma
park,
we
plan
on
using
these
opera
funds
to
support
our
youth
shelters,
we're
actually
in
the
process
of
opening
another
shelter.
The
challenge
of
cover
19
has
placed
a
lot
of
stress,
especially
on
those
families
that
are
most
in
need,
and
there's
been
an
uptick
in
families
in
distress
due
to
cover
19..
A
Those
families
are
the
most
vulnerable
families
that
we
see
providing
24
hours
seven
days
a
week,
shelter
services,
we
can't
call
off
our
staff,
couldn't
call
off,
even
though
we
had
some
that
were
off
due
to
exposure
or
due
to
contracting
cover
19.
However,
we
had
to
have
other
staff
to
come
in
to
fill
in
those
gaps.
Our
primary
concern
is
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
children
that
we
serve.
I'm
proud
to
be
an
organization
that's
residing
in
the
county
of
kankakee.
