"I am the Director at Ruth’s Place Outreach Center, we are a 510-(c)3 non profit located in Oak Trail Shores. Before corona we had a free after school program two days a week for elementary age kids. We focus on tutoring and reading mentoring but also provide them with structured activities that build confidence, life skills and healthy living habits by partnering with other agencies in hood county. We help their families in anyway we can... we help with shoes, clothes and school supplies so they can go back to school with confidence! We do a coat drive and throw a big fall festival for the families! We have a weekly food pantry, ESL class and support group for families that have a family member suffering from addiction. We have monthly parenting classes.
During the summer we have healthy kids summer lunch program where we provide kids with a free lunch all summer and we also keep them for fun activities to help keep them active during the summer. We started a summer reading club last year and it was pretty successful... which is huge! This year we will have to do it virtually because community safety is priority but last year we kept the kids for an extra hour one day a week and provided them with a library to choose from and had snacks and a cozy read in atmosphere! Prizes were given for participating, turning in book reports and for completing at home reading logs. This year since it is all going to have to be online, I am working really hard to collect good quality books that the kids will want to read. Hopefully I can get sets of a few books so I can read to the kids online and they can follow at home!"
