ACT is happy to offer another round of our COVID 19 relief mutual aid funds, also known as our Care Fund. These funds are intended to support those most impacted by the ongoing pandemic and those in need of abortion and repro health services during this time. QT BIPOC & young parents in Tulare County will be prioritized. Due to the limited amount of funds, this form will only be open for a few days or when we reach our cap.
