Tillamook Head Start - 12th St.

Some of our team visiting the capital in Salem to advocate for continued support and funding for Head Start and OPK. We had amazing parents (current and past) that shared their stories, and it was evident they spoke from the heart. The work of Head Start/OPK is truly heart work.❣️

CALL TO ACTION! The shutdown is hurting families. If Congress doesn’t act by Nov 1st, over 100 Head Start programs may lose funding — putting thousands of kids across the country at risk. Congress: End the shutdown. Protect Head Start.

While our program is continuing to operate many programs are at risk. We need to take action now. You can find resources and ways to share your voice at: https://www.ffyf.org/take-action/
