The Cool Aid Society has informed families their Hillside location will be closed middle of January.
On Wednesday, January 3rd the local non-profit announced the closure of the location that is operating out of the “Red Barn.” The announcement from the organization reads ” We regrettably are writing this message to announce our permanent closure of this facility.” Families who use the afterschool program that runs out of the northside facility will be able to continue to access the service until Friday, January 19th.
“We know that having a northern location is required for the community and are working diligently to be able to offer this in the future,” the statement reads. “At this time, we want to offer the best opportunity for our programming and requirements and can do this at the Southside facility.”
According to the Cool Aid Society, they understand some families will face challenges due to this announcement and they will do their “best to assist in mitigating these with families.”
