Claire Ludes, Salina Area United Way Executive Director

On this episode, I sit down with Salina Area United Way (SAUW) Executive Director Claire Ludes to talk about how the national childcare crisis is impacting folks here in Saline County.

Recently SAUW received $400,000 in ARPA funds to help combat childcare issues. Claire also talks about SAUW being awarded funds to open additional childcare slots and SAUW surpassing their annual fundraising goal for the first time in a decade.
