How is your favorite nonprofit doing?

Soon after the quarantine was announced for Santa Cruz County, I got a query from Kate Pavao, the leader of a local nonprofit:

Hi Suki: If you’re interested in writing an article about the virus and non profit budgets and impact on kids, please consider Live Like Coco as a source. Angela Farley at Teen Kitchen Project and I had a good conversation about this yesterday.

I was intrigued. Of course nonprofits are front and center in this epidemic, providing food and medical supplies and so forth. But what about the nonprofits that can’t function? What about the nonprofits that serve at-risk populations?

I talked to Kate and Angela for my article, which was published in Growing Up in Santa Cruz. I didn’t actually mean to make a podcast of it, but our conversation was so much bigger than a short article could convey. So here it is, the recording is rough, but the thoughts are worth hearing!
