NEOGA, Ill. (WCIA) — Neoga schools will be closed this week after a tornado left damage in its wake, but one local church wants to help lighten the burden of families in the area.

Grace United Methodist Church said that they will offer Neoga STRONG for kids each day this week from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Kids in kindergarten to fifth grade are invited to come to Grace Church for breakfast, lunch, and a day of activities. The church said that this will allow families to ensure that their kids are entertained and fed, while parents go about their week as normal.

The church shared a statement about why they wanted to create this program on their page. It said in part:

Understanding this unavoidable and unexpected week out of school has undoubtedly left a number of Neoga parents scrambling to figure out what will happen with their children while they are at work during the day, members of Neoga Grace UMC are hoping to lighten that mental burden on parents.
