Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.

Some people in our community are stepping up to help others and some are not. Our local church has done an amazing job to get meals to families when schools closed and they have continued to serve meals during the summer. Our neighbor collects bread from a local distributor to families in need. But my moms group, which is mostly upper middle class families, has done practically nothing. I will not be renewing my membership next year! I decided to take action in my own community and formed a neighborhood group on Facebook. We dont have a huge group but we still hold monthly events included a seed share and a canned food drive. I hope to grow the group and do more community projects including the creation of a little library. Through the group I have connected to a diverse community and felt less alone.
