Three Chopt Supervisor, Misty Roundtree (D) partners with local YMCA to reduce the burden of Childcare costs.
This is a great example of how local elected officials make a difference and of how connections can lead to good things happening. Misty was invited to meet with representatives of the Shady Grove YMCA board last summer to learn about their work in the community. In December, she reached out with an idea about reducing the financial burden of childcare costs during the holiday season. The Y was delighted to help and it all happened quickly! Here’s the note that went to families:
Dear Caregiver,
Every year, each Henrico County Supervisor is allotted discretionary funds to be used for the benefit of our residents through non-profits. This year, recognizing the burden that childcare costs can place on a family budget, I have elected to use some of these funds to offset those expenses for children attending the YMCAs which serve Three Chopt schools. The funds will cover the cost of two weeks of care. I hope that this helps to spread a little extra joy in this holiday season!
Sincerely,
Misty Roundtree
Three Chopt District Supervisor
Henrico Board of Supervisors
