community
is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.

Greetings!
COVID-19
has certainly changed our world and it is often challenging to see how we move forward from where we are now. At least it is for me at times.
First, keep in mind that
social distancing
is NOT the same as social isolation; we need to keep our distance to control the spread of the virus, but we do not have to be alone in the fight to do so. The need to come together has never been greater than it is now.
With that in mind, At the Table Colorado continues to move forward connecting communities, strengthening neighborhoods and creating positive permanent change, as we have in the past, but with social distancing in mind:
- Our 2020 Hot Topics remain the same: child welfare, affordable housing/the working unhoused and reducing the stigma around mental health. They are online conversations, on how we can have an impact in these spaces now.
- The ATTC Conversation Toolkit has been replaced by the ATTC Quarantine Toolkit with community projects, keeping social distancing in mind, such as our Face Mask Sewing Project. The page is currently under development so check it often for updates.
- Volunteering has been proven to be a wonderful way to stay healthy mentally and physically. So consider safe, essential volunteer projects, such as donating blood or mother’s milk. You'll find details in the ATTC Quarantine Toolkit. Please check it out and if you can, donate; if not, please share with others. Again, we will keep adding new, safe volunteer opportunities so check back regularly.
Staying safe and active while living with an attitude of gratitude can help, but there will be times when we just want to scream out loud. That, my friends, is why we have the
Colorado Howl,
at 8 PM, each night; put it to good use. I know I do.
So the question is: what will you be doing at 8 PM?
