Acknowledging EPAK's work, Executive Director of PACF Lisa Van Dusen wrote:
"You have been beyond resourceful, creative and determined as you have pivoted and innovated to meet the needs of our neighbors. You are one of our local heroes."
EPAK is grateful to PACF, and to our donors, who support the teacher grants that help students disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
