Patti Hillkirk, founder of Camp Dreamcatcher, shared some good news: the Kennett Square-based group, which provides free programs to youths affected by HIV/AIDS, just received a $10,000 grant from the
PHL COVID-19 Fund.
Patti writes:
"The grant will ensure that we can continue
to assist our Camp Dreamcatcher families, many of whom have been hard
hit by the crisis, with shipments of food, clothing, toiletries, and
household supplies. Thus far, we have provided emergency support to
forty-seven families (190 people) during this crisis."
The PHL COVID-19 fund is a partnership between the Philadelphia Foundation and
United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey to support nonprofits like Camp Dreamcatcher during the coronavirus crisis.
Patti said although the camp's board retreat, trainings, meetings and fundraisers have gone virtual, they are still planning to hold "camp
week" in August.
