            continues   to   lead   Broward   County   in   positive   coronavirus   cases,
            hospitalizations,  and  deaths—three  times  the  amount  of  cases  per  capita
            are  seen  in  this  area  when  compared  to  the  entire  state  of  Florida.  By  the
            end  of  2020,  every  family  served  by  Jack  &  Jill  Center  was  disrupted  in
            their pursuit of a better life by the COVID-19 pandemic.
            Despite   unprecedented   challenges,   our   team   consistently   met   our
            families'   individualized   needs   with   versatile   approaches;   we   viewed   the
            challenges   as   unique   opportunities   to   connect   with   one   another   and
            process the changing world in meaningful ways.
                                                                                      2020-21 Board of Directors
