At the core of this work is Little Blessing of Anoka, our childcare center. In 4Q 2023, the daily operation of Little Blessings of Anoka was discontinued. Additional facets of ACM serve the purpose of generating private financial aid for families to assist in their childcare expenses and offering weekly free food, clothing, and personal hygiene distribution to the general public. 0 1 309096 251568 Little Blessing of Anoka Early Childhood Center (LBOA) provides affordable childcare for families living in the geographical area surrounding the childcare center. The childcare center is one of the least expensive childcare centers in the area and is unique in the sense that it provides families with private financial aid and financial education. The center also only charges families in arrears for the actual days that children attend. Beginning in 2017, LBOA operates 100% independent of any state of federal government funding. LBOA is the only component of ACM that has compensated staff, resulting in a significant portion of financial resources being able to be allocated to private scholarships to families in need. Due to a tight labor market, LBOA was unable to maintain staffing levels to meet early childhood licensing requirements and thus discontinued operations in 4Q 2023. 183539 247017 Anoka Community Mission (ACM) is a social needs non-profit organization that is made up of a family of ministries that serve to meet the basic needs of families, including affordable childcare, meals, clothing, and personal hygiene items.
