I am so proud of our local community leaders who came together during a shared crisis and found courage over comfort to lean in for the hard conversations. Not only do we have an emergency pilot learning shelter program funded and in operation for first responders and essential workers, but we have the collaborative capacity to make real change for families in Pueblo. The pandemic has only heightened our awareness of the need for thoughtful learning shelters.
— Pueblo Mayor Nicholas Gradisar
 

Fair Care, founded by local educator and innovator Roxanne Pignanelli, is Pueblo’s new emergency learning shelter program offering essential workers and their families a safety net. This program provides meals, learning supervision, and play while they do their schoolwork remotely at designated locations throughout Pueblo while parents continue to work.
