For children whose families struggle to make ends meet, getting a quality education can be a challenge. But community partners are making a difference.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Many of the issues highlighted in our reporting series on poverty in Alabama could be addressed if every child in our state received a quality education. But for children whose families struggle to make ends meet, getting an education can be a challenge.

Schools in high-poverty areas also have more trouble recruiting and retaining top-quality teachers. And the teachers who do accept the challenge often find themselves helping students with non-academic problems, sometimes even helping students gain access to basic health care. The program feasibly could cost a family as much as $125 per week. But thanks to grants and donations, it’s free.
