Update on Our Coronavirus Response
Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Over the last several weeks, we sent you several emails highlighting the significant increase in financial requests received from our local food banks, home health care, medical prescription providers, and the K-12 school system in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak.

You have humbled us with your messages of support and financial contributions. Since our first email on March 23rd, we have received donations totaling $142,000. We have distributed $77,000 of these funds to triage organizations providing critical care in our community. We are pushing a bow wave of food and medical needs in Transylvania County as unemployment mounts and food processing is hampered. We foresee a need to provide food and medical support through the summer and fall, particularly for thousands of students. As a result, we continue to judiciously disperse funds to meet a long term need.

If you are able to give, please know your contributions are met with deep gratitude all across our community. Thank you for your response to this county-wide crisis. We pray you and your families stay safe.

Sincerely,
