Covid Relief and Community Campaign

Covid Rapid Response and Collaboration:

In response to the overwhelming challenges facing our community and especially our Latino and BIPOC families during the pandemic, local organizations mobilized to coordinate efforts and pool resources. In March of 2020, LLNW joined with LULAC, LCRG, and NAACP to form the rapid response team addressing the unmet needs of undocumented and mixed-status families who did not qualify for CAREs funds or resources. Project leaders and support teams – your generosity and wisdom are deeply appreciated!  

Targeted Services:

• Housing Stability Assistance

• Utilities

• Medical supplies

• Basic Needs and Referrals

Community-wide Activities and Services:

• Initial drive testing site in the region

• Culturally-responsive health and prevention info

• Weekly Charlas addressing mental health and community resources for Spanish speaking community

• Organizational capacity building and support for partner projects specific to BIPOC communities

• Compliance and management information and custom signage for Latinx-owned businesses along the Fourth Plain corridor

We are strong and powerful together. Our families and communities are safer, healthier, and more resilient when we join together. Thank you to our organizational leaders, project leaders, and support teams – your generosity and wisdom are deeply appreciated!
