Good Morning Friends and Family, For families with children who receive free or reduced lunch at school, Pandemic EBT cards have been mailed out. You do not need to apply for this benefit if you are already enrolled in the free/reduced lunch program. These cards are loaded with up to $365 per eligible school-age child and can be used to buy food. Be on the look out if you haven't received yours in the mail yet. For more information please check out the website: https://www....cdss.ca.gov/home/pandemic-ebt "Pandemic EBT Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school will get extra food benefits. These food benefits are called Pandemic EBT or P-EBT benefits. P-EBT benefits help families in California buy food when schools are closed because of the coronavirus emergency. Families will get up to $365 per eligible child on their P-EBT card to use on food and groceries. Families with children who get CalFresh, Medi-Cal or Foster Care benefits do not need to apply. Most will get their P-EBT card in the mail during the month of May. P-EBT cards will begin arriving around May 12, 2020. Families with children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals and who do not get their P-EBT card in the mail by about May 22, 2020 must apply online before June 30, 2020. The online application will be available beginning May 22, 2020 at ca.p-ebt.org."

Are you a victim of a crime and need help accessing resources to support you through it?

Thank you friends and families of Lao Family. Our Big Day of Giving campaign raised over $3000 for the SMUD EnergyHELP program. We owe many thanks to those that generously donated in support of our goal. Your contributions will alleviate the fear inducing stress our families have been experiencing as a result of their financial burdens, and in exchange deliver hope. Your impact will be long felt and for that we thank you. If you weren't able to donate during BDOG we are still accepting donations via SMUD's webpage. Please check it out. https://www.smud.org/en/In-Our-Community/Help-your-Community

Electricity is the conduit to distant learning. Since the closure of the school districts in Sacramento our k-12 students have been faced with many challenges just to access education. There is no telling what their future will look like given the education disparities low-income families are currently dealing with. However, through your gift to Lao Family's Big Day of Giving campaign, families who rely of SMUD's EnergyHELP program will receive the financial assistance they desperately need at this time. Most notably, your contribution will ensure that the lights stay on for our young distant learners who otherwise would be without. Together, we can light the way to a brighter future. Donate today. https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/laofamily

Good Morning Friends and Family. As we close another week we want to send a huge thank you to the community for continuing to comply with the stay at home order, for staying strong during this difficult time, and for entrusting Lao Family with assisting you. We've heard a lot from our community about their financial and economic hardships as a result of layoffs, reduced hours, lack of childcare resulting in loss work opportunities, and etc. because of COVID-19. We hear you ...and want you to know that we are working with our community partners to bring you much needed financial relief during this crucial time. One way we are doing this is through a joint partnership with SMUD's EnergyHELP program to help families that are struggling financially receive one-time assistance on their electric bill. As a community, every one of us can make a difference during this time. No matter how small or large your donation every dollar collected will go back to the EnergyHELP program. If you're unable to donate simply sharing our post is enough. Lao Family will continue to stand behind Sacramento and our community members because no doubt we will persevere beyond this moment and we will get through this, together. https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/LaoFamily
