32 children, 25 families without daycare

The Family School Child Development Center, a state of the art new facility at Mission Street in San Francisco has been closed since December 15 due to flooding, when the heavy rains took a huge toll on the center.

Renovations to reopen of the popular center were in progress but came to a screeching halt on the morning of February 25th when street drains backed-up, overflowed and sent three foot high rapids of flooding water, rushing into the community building and sinking the non-profit agency deeper in despair, immediately shutting the facility down and forcing 25 families to shuffle for overcrowded available daycare slots.

Since the first storms, the non-profit organization had suffered $27, 996.00 in losses. The center lost $933.20 per day, or $4,666.00 per week with estimates of the February disaster expected to triple in cost.

The disaster has impacted the lives of 32 children and 25 low-income families who rely on center‘s staff and services.

The agency is forced to reduce services and struggle to reopen its doors to serve those who need it most
