Good evening Nonprofit Prince George’s Community,

It's Monday and we are grateful for being able to send this message. Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tiffany Turner and I am the newest member of the Nonprofit Prince George's County leadership team, joining Hillary Lindeman and our Board of Directors.

As many of us grapple with the uncertainty and discomfort of unexpected change, please know that we are all working to establish and understand our current reality. This new norm is exactly that, it’s new, for everyone. Please, lets keep this in mind as we consciously exercise understanding, patience and kindness to each other as we work to figure this out, together .

In a world, societies and communities that are ever changing and evolving to address the current COVID-19 public health pandemic, one thing is certain. We are a global community and we all are impacted by this global crisis. We are affected by and with each other.

This is the time to remember that with these significant changes, comes significant questions and concerns.  All of us want to know the who, what, when, where, why and how to many actions and inactions, by various levels of leadership. 

Here at Nonprofit Prince George's County, we are constantly asking those very questions and actively seeking the answers. We strive to be a continued source and support system to our community during these challenging times and beyond. Rest assured that we are identifying current and relevant information to share with you around recent updates and their potential impact on all of our nonprofits, families, friends and neighbors. We are working to share resources and problem solve around serving the most vulnerable in our communities. 

At this time, we have determined that it is important to provide updated information; however, we do not want to inundate your mailbox while you are probably experiencing an overwhelming uptick in messages.  While we are following the CDC's recommendations, we believe that social distancing does not have to mean social isolation. In establishing ways for us to be supportive and stay connected, we are going to implement the following methods of communication:

  1. One weekly email update with the latest information
  2. One weekly alert with any urgent notices that have been announced between our weekly email updates (as needed)
  3. One weekly virtual meeting (launching Collective Community Check-Ins- details coming soon).

We are a collective community that is stronger together than apart. While we are in the midst of a storm and wait for it to pass, we will weather it together . This means that our actions are not our own. Stand with us, while we put our individual wants on hold and prioritize our collective needs.

In keeping with the Governor and Prince George's County Executive's recommendations, the Nonprofit Prince George's County team is working remotely and responding to emails . If you have any questions, concerns or thoughts, please feel free to contact us via email at pandemicsupport@nonpro fitpgc.org

Collectively,


Tiffany Turner
