Hit hard by financial setbacks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Carmel Youth Center is trying to raise $750,000 so it can reopen and continue to offer low-cost services to families who need them.
So far, the Center has raised about $15,000 but that was only over a couple of days and the new fundraiser began. The inability to hold large in-person events, the cancellation of many Car Week events, and lack of revenue from operations have hurt the center. It offers a popular after-school program that is subsidized for many of the kids who attend.
Officials say the center hopes to reopen this summer, but without donations that may not be possible.
