There are ~14,000 children in need of childcare in Columbus, GA and roughly ~7,000 available slots.  SafeHouse Ministries has just launched a new support service, Bright Futures Childcare, to help meet this need.  Even more crucial is the need for childcare when single parents are struggling to get out of homelessness or addiction and need childcare so they can work through a sobriety program or a job to save up money.  Bright Futures Childcare goes even further by providing care for sick children, and for children with mental or social disabilities.
