Communities come together in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis

Give

It’s been nearly 3 months since Covid-19 began to wreak havoc and take lives across the US. In the days and weeks following its appearance, families and communities have been forced to deal with the unbearable realities of loss, unemployment, lack of child care, hunger, and an overrun healthcare system. Even in the face of all of that, there are quiet, unshakable heroes out there doing incredible work to care for those of us who are most vulnerable and exposed.

The Perry Foundation has partnered with all of these quiet heroes in New York, Georgia, Texas, and California to help them give light and hope to those in need of assistance, and we’d like to continue to encourage help, hope, and patience during this unprecedented time in our communities.  It’s the power of those very communities that can truly affect change for the better.
