Activated March 2020 by the County, they became the main resource for assistance during the pandemic (masks, food, evictions, testing, vaccines, assistance for people who couldn't leave home). At the peak they were fielding 800 calls per day. They served as a conduit between the needs of the community and the service providers, government assistance and volunteers. The positive outcome of this has been the partnerships and collaborations that they have built, with the county government as well as other organizations such as The Foodbank of the Southern Tier. The team is learning something new every day
Next Board Meeting is March 9th - Location, TBD
