Community Banks Step Up for Customers to Provide PPP Loan Support
|
|
Chairman & CEO Charlie Crawford joins PA Community Bankers in Delivering Quick Response for Loan Relief Program
|
|
The article discussed how "Community bankers are on the front line in supporting local businesses and communities, helping them get access to funds to keep staff on payroll, doors open, and operations running."
It also described how PACB and its members, including Hyperion Bank, took swift action to review and respond to the preliminary version of the SBA loan program intended to provide economic relief for businesses impacted by COVID-19. Working together with state legislators, the Pennsylvania Bankers Association (PBA), and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in a compressed timeframe, PACB helped its bank members implement the revised loan systems to process PPP loans and issued guidance about how best to serve their customers, physically and virtually.
When the PPP loan program first launched, Hyperion was one of many banks across the country that experienced problems accessing the SBA's online loan platform. Seeking assistance, Charlie contacted PACB. "Kevin Shrivers (PACB President &CEO) personally made phone calls, got me the name of a specific contact, and I gained almost immediate access. It's great to have PACB as a conduit, along with PBA and ICBA," said Charlie.
Pennsylvania's community banks also helped each other to ensure that all their customers could be served promptly. As Sweeney wrote,
"The unique aspect of community banking is the connection bankers have to their customers. It's not the number or size of transactions that are most important to those in community banking, it is the personal connection to the people in their community."
Judging by the many appreciative letters Hyperion Bank has received from business owners we've assisted during this pandemic crisis, our customers would agree: count on community banks for a "wicked nimble response"!

COVID-19 Update: How to Help the Elderly During the Pandemic
|
|
As the global pandemic keeps people home-bound, it's critical to remember that even as businesses start to open, the elderly continue to be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. While we must all still practice social distancing, we can help ensure that senior adults have the food, medications, and household items they need, and be aware that isolated seniors may have a heightened sense of loneliness as they shelter in place during the quarantine.
Stay in touch with elderly family, friends, and neighbors by visiting at a safe distance, calling, texting, having Zoom or FaceTime sessions, and offering to pick up groceries or needed items.
Philadelphia and Atlanta residents can choose to donate or volunteer through local nonprofit organizations to help prepare and/or deliver meals to seniors, provide transportation, and assist with other services. Many neighborhood Facebook groups have also created ways to match volunteers with people who need assistance.
PHILADELPHIA VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
- Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) is Philadelphia County's designated agency on aging, working since 1973 to help older adults live independently and improve their quality of life. Among its many services for seniors, PCA delivers meals to homes via trained drivers. While the agency is operating with limited staff due to COVID-19, donations to their Rodney D. Williams Philadelphia Fund for Seniors, which is their primary source of revenue, or to their Emergency Fund for Older Philadelphians, will help PCA buy food, fuel, and medical supplies for the seniors they serve.
- Easter Outreach is a coalition of 90 area churches that annually delivers meals to thousands of home-bound residents at Easter. During the pandemic, they have deployed their network to connect volunteer delivery drivers with senior centers offering meals and groceries to elders in need. Find volunteer opportunities and resources on their website.
- KleinLife is one of the region's largest social services organizations, serving a highly diverse and multi-generational community. Among its many programs, KleinLife operates four Active Adult Life centers in Center City, Northeast Philadelphia, and Montgomery County, and delivers meals to more than 600 elderly clients in Northeast, South, and Center City Philadelphia, City Line Avenue area, and Abington and Cheltenham Townships. Volunteer drivers will receive a schedule over the phone, and pick up latex gloves, packed meals, and routes outside of their building to reduce exposure. Volunteers should be under the age of 65 and have no medical conditions or COVID-19 symptoms. KleinLife also runs more than 20 volunteer Cook For a Friend groups throughout the Delaware Valley; volunteers help cook and prepare meals for home deliver. For more information, email [email protected] or call 215-698-7300 x194.
- Senior Citizens United Community Services supports elderly residents in Camden County, New Jersey. The organization relies on volunteers to help prepare and deliver food bags, do grocery shopping for shut-ins, and provide clerical assistance with daily business activities. To volunteer for food delivery services for home-bound seniors, call Mark Moffitt: 856-456-1121 x158.
ATLANTA VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
- Open Hand is an Atlanta organization that has earned its reputation as Georgia's premier home-delivered meal provider. Volunteers at Open Hand typically make nearly 5,000 meals a day and deliver balanced meals to food-insecure senior citizens throughout the state. During the pandemic they have suspended volunteer activities within their facility, but they do need volunteer drivers. Check out their Volunteer Calendar on their website, or call 404-872-2707 for information.
- Meals on Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) supports senior independence through meals, shelter, education, and community. MOWA depends on volunteers to help with meal preparation and food deliveries to the elderly, and accepts donations via Cash App ($MOWATL) and Venmo (@MOWATL), making it very easy to contribute to their food relief efforts. To learn more, email [email protected]g or call 404-351-3889.
- Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) has suspended volunteer shifts at its building, but does have volunteers spots open for a number of July events to help distribute food to its community in Stone Mountain. Visit their volunteer calendar to for details about Community Food Center Packaging & Distribution events. Volunteers must sign-up online before participating in any event.
- Hands on Atlanta connects volunteers with a wide variety of partners (such as MOWA and ACFB) and projects across Metro Atlanta, including those focused serving seniors and fighting food insecurity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Use the search engine on their website to find events that meet your needs, or donate online to support food relief efforts.

PRIDE Month & Juneteenth Virtual Events
+ Tour Public Art in ATL & PHL
|
|
PRIDE month began as a march held in June 1970 to commemorate the historic Stonewall uprising that inspired the LGBT equal rights movement. After New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village on June 28, 1969, ensuing riots over the next five days served as a catalyst for the fight for gay rights, launching an era of social change in the U.S. and abroad. Over the past 50 years, that initial march in NYC has expanded to huge parades and festivals celebrated every June by LGBTQ+ communities and supporters in more than 400 cities around the world. For 2020, in-person events have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but organizers are working to plan virtual PRIDE month events such as
Global Pride 2020
, which will stream 24 hours of musical and artistic performances, speeches, and other content on Saturday, June 27 from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm.

Philadelphia's first gay pride parade in 1972 was one of the nation's first. Although the parade was discontinued from 1977-1987, it was restored in 1988 by
Philly Pride Presents, which since then has coordinated the Philly Pride Parade and Festival every June, attracting more than 25,000 attendees each year. The 32nd parade presented by this nonprofit organization, planned for June 14th, has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Philly Pride hopes to run the parade in September 2020, followed by its annual OutFest celebration in October.

50 years ago,
Atlanta Pride began producing a full month of "Stonewall Month" events in June, including a gay pride parade, to commemorate the Stonewall Uprisings. A few years ago, in response to the City's drought regulations, the annual parade and festival moved to October, when Atlanta now hosts the country's largest National Coming Out Day observance. This nonprofit organization and its partners have cancelled all in-person June events due to COVID-19, but you can check for virtual events on the Atlanta Pride website
