The health and safety of our communities is our priority. With the World Health Organization declaring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic, we invited all nonprofits to join us in conversations to better understand the implications of a pandemic on agencies and those they serve. Meetings began weekly in the spring of 2020, eventually moved to bi-weekly, and after feedback from the social sector, beginning October 2021 meetings will continue as quarterly with a focus on resource sharing.
