We’ll never forget the flood of emails, when COVID-19 hit, announcing closure after closure in the name of public health. Food banks, drop ins, out of the cold programs, libraries, restaurants where people access wifi and bathrooms - all shuttered. Abandonment wasn’t an option for us, so we immediately shifted our drop in to an outreach model to stay connected with people.
