“Everyone involved in the program will be assisting with making it a success,” said event organizers. “The staff and children have been working on decorations since February, our board members have been working hard to get sponsors making this fundraiser 100% proceeds back to the program as well as volunteering their time at the event to help serve.”
The Latch Key program is available to working families in the Brownwood ISD that have children 4 years old in Pre-k through 6th grade that qualify for free or reduced lunches in the school system. There is no charge for the families to enroll. The Latch Key program provides a snack for the children and help with homework. The staff also offers activities for the children once homework has been completed. All staff comes from Howard Payne University through
the workstudy program and must pass fingerprint background checks to help ensure the safety of the children.
Latch Key is a United Way organization.
