A pediatrician in Flint is tackling poverty by launching RX Kids, which provides every new mother with $7,500 in cash aid over a year. This move is the first of its kind and aims to reduce the high rates of child poverty in the US. myumi.ch/M69E3 @UMichPoverty
There's more than $43 million to keep the program going for three years. Funders include foundations, health insurance companies, and the state of Michigan, which allocated a small part of its federal cash aid, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). NPR, “Every new mom in this U.S. city is now getting cash aid for a year”

A photo cropped in a circle with wavy edges features a diverse trio of girls wearing sea green GOTR T-shirts outside on a grassy field. They are facing the same direction and squished together in a row. The first one in line is falling backwards while the two girls behind her hold her up. They are all giggling with open mouths. The photo is surrounded by an orange background sprinkled with colorful graphic stickers of a lightning bolt, shooting star, exclamation point, and megaphone.

This #GivingEveryTuesday, let's turn our kitchens into hubs of generosity! 🍲 Prepare a delicious meal and share it with a neighbor who could use some extra help. A shared meal not only nourishes the body, but also fosters a sense of community and support.
