Literacy Coalition provides services to 29,000 local adults & children each year.Significant information:On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized Coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency relating to the disease. This unprecedented situation has resulted in the temporary contraction of activities and operating hours for many individuals and organizations, including those that interact with and support the Literacy Coalition. As a result, the Coalition's 2020-21 operations and financial results may be adversely affected by governmental restrictions, additional cleaning and compliance costs, decline investment performance, and the potential loss or reduction of certain revenue streams. Management believes the Coalition is taking appropriate actions to mitigate these negative effects; however, the full impact of COVID-19 remains unknown.
