A $1.25 million grant from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund is set to transform ACCESS Shelter in Akron, making it possible to nearly double its space for women and children experiencing homelessness. With more than 100 families and single women waiting for a safe place, this funding means real hope: six new bedrooms are on the way, and the shelter can finally pay off its new building. For many in our community, this could mean fewer mothers and kids sleeping in cars or outside. How do you think this expansion will impact Akron’s neighborhoods? #Safety #Akron #ACCESSshelter
