For months, The CARES Act money has funded the voucher program, but that money has run out. "My daughter would normally attend the Boys and Girls Club, but because of the limit of the number of children they could have this year, we had to find alternative care,” said Sara Mabary, an essential worker. For Mabary, that move cost her considerably more for childcare, but for months she has taken part in the Childcare Voucher Program.
