ZoeCare Receives Grant

The South Dakota Community Foundation has awarded a Yankton non-profit thousands of dollars.

ZoeCare is a pregnancy resource center that opened in Yankton in July 2020. Since opening last summer, ZoeCare has been working to build its Earn While You Learn program. Earn While You Learn combines high-quality, evidence-based education on healthy pregnancy, parenting, and life skills with the baby supplies that their clients need. The South Dakota Community Foundation awarded ZoeCare five thousand dollars to continue to grow this program.

ZoeCare Founder Rachel Jones says this grant will provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of young families, specifically single mothers.

Through the Earn While You Learn program, clients receive parenting education and baby supplies, as well as the love and care of a mentor.
