Please help Social Workers affected by Texas Panhandle Wildfires

Mar 5, 2024

A wildlfire brightens the night sky in Texas, burning though farmland.

As the wildfires continue to devastate our beloved Panhandle communities, it’s more crucial than ever to come together and extend our support. In Canadian and Fritch alone, the impact has been staggering, with acres of land scorched and countless families displaced.

In these trying times, it’s heartbreaking to learn that two of our own social workers have lost their homes to this relentless inferno.

As we commemorate Social Work Month, let’s honor the spirit ofcompassion and solidarity that defines our profession by rallying
around those in need. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a world of difference to those affected.

Donate Now!

Your generosity will directly aid our colleagues and community members as they navigate through this crisis. Let’s show our support and
solidarity throughout the month of March, ensuring that our actions truly reflect the values we uphold as social workers.

Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those impacted by these wildfires. Thank you for standing with us in this
time of need.

Recent Child Care Updates

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
