WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) announced the award of a $10,183,082 federal grant to Shore Up! Inc., a non-profit Community Action Partnership in Salisbury whose focus is to help people reach personal economic independence. Funding for this grant originated from the Head Start Program, a division of the Administration for Children and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Specifically, the Head Start Program is designed to promote school readiness of children ages birth to five years old from low-income families by supporting the development of the whole child.
Congressman Harris issued the following statement:
“I’m pleased to hear that Head Start has once again awarded this funding to Shore Up!, as this announcement is always exciting news for the Lower Shore. Shore Up!’s efforts with early childhood education and promoting economic self-sufficiency are an effective way to reduce poverty and promote individual success in our local Eastern Shore communities.”
Shore up should be done away with. Was fine when it helped the elderly. Now they cater to anyone who is too lazy to work and help themselves
As a conservative I don’t think this is something to be proud of. Head start is nothing but a baby sitting service for parents who don’t want to be bothered raising their own children. Another 10 million of borrowed money wasted. When is this foolishness going to stop? This is a liberal program and the kids are being indoctrinated to be the next generation of liberals so why would Harris want to brag about getting them 10 million dollars?
How does this program compete with the services offered by our public school system. Also, has anyone looked into the salaries of the executives at Shore Up. You would be amazed.
Will it include CRT poison?
Oh goody! More freebies for the ones who choose not to work. They just allow us lowly people drag our a$$es out to work so they don’t have to. They get free heating fuel, electric, baby sitting services and many other goodies. There are plenty of jobs out there right now if anyone wants a job,. but we all know there are those in our society that wouldn’t work in a pie factory. It’s time this BS stopped instead of dumping more of our hard earned tax dollars into these programs for the ones who WILL NOT work! Must be some privileged folks out there.
Andy, Whose money is being given away here? I am tired of you politicians giving away my hard earned tax dollars.
