DENVER - Since Oct. 2021, the Clayton Cares Market has provided food and necessities for over 52 families a week.
“Clayton takes a whole child, whole family approach. And so, although early education is the core of what we do here on our campus and in the community, serving the basic needs of our families is also critically important to the development of our young children that we serve,” said Sarah Berkman, vice president of development for Clayton Early Learning. “The market has perishable and nonperishable goods, household products, feminine hygiene products, protein milks of every kind.
“What's great about the process that we've implemented here is that the checkout process allows families to identify products that aren’t currently being offered," she said. However, Berkman says the most important resource they can share is the reassurance that someone cares during these hard times.
