Northern Moore Family Resource Center

Hope academy preschool program and parent education - Northern Moore Family Resource Center (nmfrc) served 50 children in full-day classes in its hope academy preschool program. Parents of children enrolled in the program were offered Family workshops, which included financial literacy, motheread, and parenting classes. Students were served lunch and two snacks each day. Some children were provided transportation to and from school.

Summer camp each summer we offer a free summer camp program which generally operates for six to seven weeks, depending on the Moore county schools calendar. We serve 150 children, from preschoolers through rising eighth graders. Teachers lead the six activities that campers participate in each day and college students work as group leaders, taking their group to each of the activities. Field trips include weekly visits to the biscoe pool, as well as other places of interest.

After school programs were offered for students at robbins elementary, westmoore elementary, and elise middle schools on the campus of each of the schools. Children were served for three hours a day, five days a week. We served about 200 students.

Santa's workshop program due to the pandemic, our normal santa's workshop program was modified, so that we did not have parents come and "shop" in our building. Instead, we prepared gift bags, which included two toys and a book for all children who were signed up for the program. Families were assigned times to drive by and pick up the gift bags. We also included $75 worth of gift cards (walmart and just save) for each child in the Family. We included a letter with the gift cards letting parents know that we wanted them to have the flexibility to use the gift cards to purchase clothes for their children or to use it for more basic needs, like food.
