OUR COVID-19 RESPONSE
Together, we can help ease the burden caused by this crisis and provide much-needed support for our most vulnerable neighbors.
what we’re up against
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, individuals and families are struggling. The economic effects are immense, particularly for those living paycheck to paycheck. Many families still struggling to recover from the recent tornadoes are finding their path to stable housing and financial stability even more challenging. Senior citizens and historically underserved and minority communities are particularly vulnerable.
How we’re making it better
