Dear Friends,
We all read the news and understand the painful realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. Step back and think about the ripple effect it will have on our community in the days, weeks, and months ahead. The illnesses, losses, and grief will certainly become more complicated as we move through this challenging time.
We are honored to know that the community depends on us for support and a caring presence every day. We take this responsibility very seriously.
In the absence of meaningful rituals, customs, and family support, our compassionate support services are more critical than ever.
We have ramped up our availability and virtual support services to offer social and emotional support during social distancing and stay at home orders. Community members in need may reach out to us by visiting
CaringMatters.org
.
Moving forward, we are preparing for our services to be in extremely high demand.
However, these services come at a cost. Like many organizations, we are facing increased expenses and lost revenue.
We’re counting on YOU
