TV6 Cares: Learn United Quad Cities

The COVID-19 shutdown has brought about the longest-ever spring break for students. The impact of lost school days and classroom learning has both teachers and parents concerned.

With this issue in mind, KWQC-TV6 is proud to partner with United Way, 14 area school districts, and many QCA cultural institutions to bring about "TV6 Cares: Learn United Quad Cities".

Cultural institutions, like
