Caring for One Another
Extreme weather reminds us how interconnected we are. If you are able, consider checking in on neighbors nearby, especially those who may have limited mobility, rely on refrigerated medications, or face barriers to staying warm and nourished.
We encourage partners, volunteers, and community members to share these resources with anyone who may need them. Care and safety matter deeply in moments like this, and small acts of attention can make a meaningful difference.
Our hearts are with our neighbors as the city recovers. We look forward to resuming our work as soon as conditions allow, and we remain grateful for the community that continues to show up for one another.
Please stay tuned for additional updates.
