“In 2022, we continued large-scale distribution sites in collaboration with local governments and Emergency Managers across North Carolina. These sites facilitated the delivery of multiple semi-truckload donations, providing critical resources to our community partners and the regions served by these efforts. We continued to partner with various organizations to launch vaccine equity initiatives, educating frontline communities about COVID-19 vaccines while distributing COVID-19 supplies, food, and other essential resources. We continued our "Get Out the Vaccine" phone bank to inform community members about available vaccination sites. Key partnerships included Local Governments, African Methodist Episcopal (AME and AMEZ) churches, barber shops, LGBTQIA+ organizations, Veteran organizations, and NAACP County Presidents. Our organization also facilitated supply chains for vaccines and essential supplies to elderly populations in low-income housing and nursing homes. Additionally, we supported schools, health departments, fire departments, police departments, and EMS by providing the necessary COVID-19 supplies to ensure continued operations. We responded to the Moore County power outage by partnering with the local LGBTQ center and the AMEZ church to provide essential support. We supplied generators to establish a warm, powered distribution site and delivered hot meals to home bound seniors. We provided grocery store gift cards to replace spoiled food, and other necessities. Recognizing a community's unique needs, we worked closely with the LGBTQ center to ensure privacy and safety while fostering trust. Additionally, we distributed winter clothing, and fresh food to address immediate and ongoing needs. We responded to the water outage in Asheville (caused by cold weather) by providing pallets of bottled water to support affected communities. This effort aimed to alleviate the strain on frontline populations impacted by the disruption caused by the lack of water.”
