- Business News
To say COVID was a disruption in 2020 is an understatement. Nonprofits were at the forefront of relief efforts as they continued to serve the most vulnerable and underserved people in their communities.
In this episode, we are talking to Michael Smith, executive director of the Greater Valdosta United Way, and Caroline Horne, executive director of the Colquitt County United Way.
COVID-19 brought challenges
· Food distribution, especially school children
· Helping families that are having difficulty paying rent and utilities
· Nonprofit agencies stepped up
· Brought attention to lack of broadband in rural communities
· Fundraising efforts were derailed, nonprofits had to find new ways to raise money
· Volunteer opportunities were hindered
Join us next time as we continue to highlight why South Georgia is a great place to live, work, and play.
