The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone’s lives and access to food can be challenging if you are affected by the virus and have a change in circumstances.
For the period October 2021 to January 2022, we provided Food Bags, Personal Care Bags for two hundred and twenty-nine women (229) women headed households based on data collect on number of persons in households a total of 528 benefitted from our food donations. During this time increased mental health support services to an additional twenty-four (24) women who are victims of gender-based violence and provided rental support eleven (11) clients, who are victims of GBV but also lost their jobs/livelihoods due to COVID. Additionally, we have stocked up on nonperishables for pantry to provide food support to select clients on an ongoing basis. A total of eleven (11) clients also received utilities bill support.
While we support a significant number of women, children, disabled and LGBTQI community members, access to food, ability to pay rent, utilities and digital devices and internet access is still a challenge for many families.
You donations are critical to our continued support of vulnerable and marginalized populations as we all continue to deal with restrictions, protocols and challenges of COVID-19
