BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) – The Child Care Resource Network in Buffalo has been busy assisting families with daycare needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are trying to identify the child care providers that are open and have slots,” Kim Suminski, the Chief Executive Director at CCRN, said. “We are working really hard with the county to identify those essential, frontline workers who need child care.”
“Some (child care providers that have availability) may be forced to close which is unfortunate but very understandable,” Suminski said.
Child Care Resource Network is running with a full staff, though Suminski said they are asking people interested in volunteering to reach out to them at 877-6666. Suminski said there is not an immediate need for volunteers, though anyone interested will be compiled onto a list.
The group is also delivering mini-grants to providers in need of essential supplies such as diapers and wipes. Providers can apply for those grants through their website.
