Our goal is to prevent child abuse and neglect in Yolo County by bridging emergency childcare with support for parents in resolving problems.
the children and families that we serve were already experiencing challenges involving domestic violence, mental and physical health emergencies, substance abuse and addiction, homelessness, sudden job loss, and other adversities. Yolo Crisis Nursery is an essential provider for children and families whose situations went from urgent to potentially catastrophic with the arrival of COVID in our community. Following strict safety mandates, the doors to the Nursery have remained open 24/7 to the infants and children who need us and to the families of essential workers with nowhere else to turn. I am deeply proud of my compassionate community, and on behalf of our entire organization — our staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors—and from the children and families that we serve, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
It is crab season in California, and that means the ninth annual Yolo Crisis Nursery Crab Feed is just around the corner! This year’s Yolo Crisis Nursery Crab Feed will be a virtual shell-ebration like no other! The proceeds from our annual Crab Feed are an essential piece of the Nursery’s financial health and enable the Nursery to serve children and families in crisis. A successful crab feed will help the Nursery serve more of Yolo County’s at-risk children and their families.
When crab season comes each year to Northern California so does the Annual Yolo Crisis Nursery Crab Feed. The 2021 Yolo Crisis Nursery Crab Feed will be a virtual SHELLebration like no other! The Friends of the Yolo Crisis Nursery have worked hard to plan a unique, one-of-a-kind experience for you. Drive through for a masked, contactless pick-up of a CLAWesome crab dinner then enjoy your dinner, your favorite beverage, and the virtual event from the comfort of your home.
Yet, today, even as we are called on to address worrying increases in domestic violence, homelessness, and mental health emergencies, it is not difficult to conjure a deep sense of gratitude, which comes from knowing that we at the Nursery are not meeting these challenges alone. As a family who benefited directly from your compassionate work, and also just as fellow caring humans, we are forever grateful for and inspired by the strength, dedication, kindness, proficiency and understanding with which you provide crucial services to our community.” I couldn’t agree more. I am grateful for our fellow nonprofits and service providers working diligently to collaborate in the best interest of children and families during a time of greatly increased need and decreased resources. As this challenging year comes to a close, and we look to 2021 with hope for health, happiness, and a return to some version of normal, I invite you to join us with an end of year gift to the Yolo Crisis Nursery to ensure that families, like Frank’s, see and feel the hope of the new year.
