Episcopal City Mission urgently needs your support in 2023 as populations in the City and County Juvenile Detention Centers continue to rise by as much as 60% from prior years. In addition to an increase in numbers, children entering the detention centers are quarantined in their rooms for two weeks, requiring individualized care because they cannot participate in group programs. Finally, the pandemic and resulting economic challenges seriously curtailed ECM's fundraising events in 2020 - early 2022. We pray that in 2023 we will recover some of those financial losses.
