With Unprecedented Challenges Come New Opportunities
2020 has a been an unusual year for McAdams SHARES. Though many of the events that we had planned to share with our partners were modified or postponed due to COVID-19, those activities were replaced instead with an opportunity to collaborate with our partners as they navigated unprecedented challenges. By staying in close contact with our partner organizations over the past 10 months, we have been able to contribute over $130,000 to assist local food banks with their restocking needs; furnish emergency housing units for community members facing homelessness; move forward with socially distanced work projects; and help backfill financial gaps that were created due to the pandemic, among other touchpoints created by our partners’ quick identification of critical community needs. As we move into 2021, we do so with an even greater appreciation of the work that our partners do, and their deep relationships with our communities.
