"While access to healthcare, food, utilities and rental assistance continue to challenge our clients at Centro Multicultural La Familia in Pontiac, mental health needs have become greater still," says president and CEO Sonia Acosta. "Isolation and stressors around health, child care and schooling have caused families a great deal of anxiety and depression."
Our clients at Pontiac’s Centro Multicultural La Familia have been requesting financial assistance so they can focus on their other needs.
After about a month of working from home, some of the clients started losing their jobs or receiving reduced work hours. We started receiving calls from clients needing help with paying for their rent, utilities, needing diapers for their children, personal hygiene items, and food.
