In the U.S., over two-thirds of children under 5 need childcare because their parents are in the workforce. (Source: Office of Child Care, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) Here in Johnson County, we see the same challenge every day. Families are working hard, but access to affordable childcare remains out of reach for many. At Raising JoCo, we're on a mission to change that—because every child deserves the chance to thrive, and every parent deserves the support they need. Visit raisingjoco.org to get involved today. 💛

Changing a child's future starts with small actions that lead to BIG results. Volunteer your time, voice your support, or help expand childcare opportunities. Every effort makes a difference. Visit raisingjoco.org to get involved! 💛
