Cash for Critters? How Much Moolah Can You Mooch from the Washington Family Relief Fund?

But fear not, weary Washingtonian parent, because there might be a beacon of financial hope on the horizon: the Washington Family Relief Fund.
But before you start picturing a Scrooge McDuck money bin overflowing with hundred-dollar bills (stuffed with baby wipes, natch), let's get down to brass tacks.

| How Much Is The Washington Family Relief Fund |
How Much Dough Are We Talking?
The Washington Family Relief Fund isn't about making you a millionaire (sorry, gotta keep buying those lottery tickets). This fund is about giving a helping hand to Washington's most vulnerable low-income families with children who've been feeling the squeeze from the pandemic. So, how much is this helping hand worth? Well, the fund itself is a cool $5,000,000, but that gets divided up amongst eligible families.
Don't Do the Math, We Got You Covered
Here's the gist: if you qualify, you can get some cash per child in your household. We're talking up to $250 per kiddo. Not a windfall, but hey, every little bit helps, right? Especially when it comes to buying, you know, actual food for those little crumb-crunchers.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
Important Side Note: This program was a one-time deal in February/March of 2023. So, if you're reading this poolside in May 2024 sipping a Mai Tai (because, frankly, that sounds amazing right now), you're out of luck on this particular fund.
But fear not, there might be other programs out there! Keep an eye out for updates from the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families (https://www.dcyf.wa.gov/).
