With the impact of the current COVID-19 crisis, our initiatives specifically focus on ensuring the continued availability of basic need essentials for low-income residents that lack mobility, are isolated from social support networks, or who are discouraged from going into public during the COVID-19 crisis due to existing health concerns.
