Earlier this week the first grant recipients of the COVID-19 Response Fund, a partnership with the United Way of Forsyth County, were announced. The $1,062,000 grant was awarded to 15 local nonprofits, but not everyone was happy about the announcement.
Here in Forsyth County in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, we’ve seen a groundswell of organizations, non-profits, churches, businesses, and individuals come forward and do their part. And for the past two weeks, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest N.C. has been doing their part to ensure children across the state don’t go hungry.
Armed with face masks, gloves, and of course, hand sanitizer, representatives and volunteers with Family Services partnered with OSO Restaurant Group (o’So Eats) to provide 500 meals for families in need at First Baptist Church (Highland Avenue) last week.
