Children’s Trust board member Tiffany Santagati was recently presented the Yezbak Award for her service to the organization. The award, which is named for former board chair David Yezbak, highlights Santagati’s commitment to the prevention of child abuse and neglect in South Carolina. Santagati, who currently serves as the vice chair on the board, is a senior vice president and retail banking executive at Community First Bank in the Greenville area.
Children’s Trust has released the COVID-19 Impact on South Carolina Children’s Well-Being data snapshot, which provides important insight into the challenges that parents and caregivers have experienced during the pandemic. The data covers seven categories where families are being directly affected by the coronavirus: economic insecurity, educational challenges, child care, food insecurity, health care, mental health and stimulus payment usage.
The November newsletter also includes information on Giving Tuesday, the Building Hope for Children Conference, our Empower Action coalitions in Oconee, Marlboro and Richland counties, a parenting survey, and new student additions to the staff.
