Join Dr. Travis Engel, Chair of Centra's Pediatric Department and Walk with a Doc!
We will be collecting items for Humankind’s Early Head Start program:
HumanKind’s Early Head Start program supports parents and free, full-time childcare for infants and toddlers. With your help, our centers can provide the necessary supplies a child needs in childcare — easing the burden on parents. This additional support empowers parents to gain better employment, secure housing in safer neighborhoods, and build a strong foundation for life.
Your gift will directly benefit economically struggling families by meeting their basic needs without jeopardizing the household’s financial position. When basic needs are met – parents can focus on providing food and supplies at home, while their children can develop to reach their full potential and be ready for school.
