Dear Neighbors,
We have been blown away by the support you have shown our community by participating in Sandy Springs Together’s COVID-19 Relief Fund for the Community Assistance Center.
Your generosity is humbling and, once again, you have shown that we are a unique city, which comes together to make sure we all can benefit from each other.
This city is full of acts of kindness all around us, with food being taken to drop off locations, masks being sewn, young people running errands for older folks and so much more.
If you hear about an act of kindness, please do let us know. We’d love to learn more about it.
SO many of our neighbors are scared and struggling, not knowing if they will be able to make ends meet with all of the business closings and reduced hours. The Community Assistance Center’s call volume has risen 400% with more than 100 requests for rent assistance in process and more coming in hourly.
Their budget for COVID relief is $250,000 per month for the next 3 months. The impact of this pandemic and the economic fall-out is staggering.
But you have made a difference and we thank you.
If you haven’t made your contribution yet, and you want to see your donation matched by the Couchman Noble Foundation, head on over to the COVID-19 CAC donation link to have your donation matched by the Couchman Noble Foundation.
The match will end on April 4th. But, the link we will remain active beyond that date for all future donations.
