The over-arching reason why our group has been activated is because the pandemic has isolated us all. Our community is an at-risk community; we are also a close-knit community that strives to be together in the healthiest ways. Our purpose is to create innovative ways to connect in community in times of social distancing due to viral crises. Our overall goal is to ease the suffering of isolation in our communities by creating new ways for us to connect through online book groups, daily zoom hangouts, social distanced community hikes, pastoral 1:1 chains, and food and medicine delivery contingency groups. With funding for technology assistance, food assistance, and resources for books, we will be able to build our community connection and fight the depression habits of isolation during the pandemic. We hope, too, that this connection will enhance our communities after the pandemic is over.
