Critical Needs Abound During COVID-19 Pandemic

It’s undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all of us in some way. For the youth, young adults and families who are already struggling financially, this crisis is even more detrimental.

Many of the youth and young families we serve at OHB use every dollar of their income on necessities, leaving no room to budget for emergencies. When a crisis such as COVID-19 hits, these youth and young families are especially vulnerable to the harsh realities of being out of work, without childcare and without daily meals for their children that were once provided by schools.

Let’s come together to support our community’s most vulnerable youth and families during this time of crisis!
