The last year has taken a toll on almost every aspect of our lives as a people, but as vaccines become more available, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, there are still many people adversely affected by COVID and in need of support.
If you are able to give, the Coronavirus Relief Fund is focusing on organizations that are working directly with the most vulnerable communities to provide direct relief. By contributing to the Coronavirus Relief Fund, your donations will be spread equally across all of them to support groups continuing to provide crucial support during this time.
Thank you for helping to raise more than $2.5 million dollars for groups that are providing direct relief for those facing hunger, financial strife, and in need of health resources.
