Please complete the survey to help out our friends at GIAC!

Hi,
I wanted to personally reach out and share that GIAC is exploring the possibility of developing a 24/7 daycare option here in Tompkins County. This could be life-changing for so many working families, but it can only happen if we truly hear from the community.

Your voice matters. I’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to share your feedback and pass the link https://forms.gle/yy1S8ockPZNZPNru7 along to anyone you know who may benefit. The more voices we gather, the stronger this effort becomes.

Thank you so much for the support — I truly believe we can make this happen together.

With appreciation,

Keyturah aka Kay Moore (she/her)
