Cloe Presley hands an at-home learning packet to Megan Rickard at The Baker Center on Wednesday morning. Staff at the center distributed learning supplies, diapers, boxed food and drinks to parents with students in Head Start programs throughout Charlotte County.
Although distribution didn’t begin until 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, parents of students in Charlotte County Head Start programs were lined up at the Baker Center in Punta Gorda by 9:30 a.m. to get a variety of supplies.
The center hosted a huge curbside pickup for families with children in programs across the county, and for staff who were handing out learning packets, books, diapers and wipes, there was no end in site to the cars lined up on Charlotte Avenue.
