We want to support those of you who are trying to navigate a new “homeschool” reality, while still juggling work and all of your other responsibilities…bless your heart. Whew.
Below are some of the most useful reading websites and resources we’ve found, feel free to share!
Hoping we all come out of this a little more well-read 🙂
Fresno Unified has been hard at work serving meals to 40,000 – 50,000 individuals every day (see sites here). We know Central, Clovis, Sanger, and the surrounding districts are working just as hard! But as you may have heard there will be no school meal distributions happening on Friday. We wanted to share a list of sites we know will be distributing food. Please let us know if you know of any more by emailing info@everyneighborhood.org.
With our children home, there is plenty of time to enjoy fun and games! Here are some activities, arts, and crafts to share with your kiddos!
As COVID-19 continues we want to continue to share updated information about ways you can serve during this time.
Word of Caution: Take the precations you feel you need to take. We are not medical professionals, but rather trying to give you options and ways to show Jesus like compassion during these times.
Local hospitals and clinics have dire needs for both masks and gowns. Drop off at ENP’s downtown office (1719 L St) and we will get them to our local hospital partners.
Hey everyone, this is Amy, the Saturday Sports Coordinator for ENP.
I’m here to share a little about an idea we’ve been working on in the Recreational Resilience Department. This semester we’ve piloted a new opportunity to build resilience through kids’ favorite subject. Recess.
Hi, Jenessa Hefler from ENP here! Coming to you virtually from my very yellow kitchen. I hope you all are staying safe and connected in these unprecedented times. In light of our schools being closed and many parents and kids at home trying to navigate a new homeschool life, we wanted to make our Literacy Mentor (LM) materials free and easily accessible to you.
Dear Ministry Colleagues,
God’s people in the Valley are responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Many of you are involved in relief efforts – too many to list here. But in our role as an equipping organization, we wanted to pass along a few strategic things we are aware of that might be helpful for you to know:
We are in the midst of unprecedented times. COVID-19 and the potential impact on our city, state, country, and the world is rising in awareness as well as the importance social distancing and other efforts to flatten the curve.
ENP is continually monitoring the situation and wanted to let you know how we can love our neighbors and especially those on the margins.
Word of Warning: Take the precations you feel you need to take. We are not medical professionals, but rather trying to give you options and ways to show Jesus like compassion during these times.
Let your neighbors know you are there for them! You can download and print this PDF and share it with them. If you want an editable version or want ENP to help you create one email gabrielle@everyneighborhood.org.
Thanks, Neighborhood Church for sharing your design.

On February 22, 2020, the Fresno County Trauma and Resilience Network partnered with Every Neighborhood Partnership to bring awareness to the impact of childhood trauma in Fresno.
The vision behind these two mini-conferences is to gather community members to discuss and strategize ways to build connections between the health care system and other systems to better serve kids and families struggling with adverse conditions in their lives.
The first Trauma and Resilience Mini-Conference was held at the Butler Church and approximately 45 people — educators, mentors, parents, and students– were in attendance.

The City of Fresno suffers as one of the worst cities for poverty concentration in the nation. Of the 500,000 residents from around the globe that inhabit Fresno, 28.2 percent live under the national poverty line. Moved by the city’s statistics, organizations gather together to attempt to mobilize the community for action.
The Well Community Church hosted the second annual Discover Fresno, a one-day event used to inform citizens about the needs of the city and volunteer opportunities for Fresno residents, Feb. 8. Over 250 guests attended the event which included ten breakout sessions and opportunities to engage with the session speakers.
Leaders from Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP), Live Again Fresno, Youth for Christ, Poverello House, Pregnancy Care Center, World Impact, Housing Authority, Safe Families, Fresno Rescue Mission, ESA Love Inc., Economic Opportunities Commission, Central Valley Justice Coalition and Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries represented their organizations and shared the part they play in revitalizing the city of Fresno.
