Chapter officers are creatively planning ways that our fundraising will continue in new formats so we can continue supporting educators and students in our area. One member supplied over 175 face masks to Bethlehem House of Bread, Just Compassion, Good Neighbor Center and others. This same member teams with CERT and Tigard City Hall to make masks for First Responders. A team of EIGHT members are providing meals for Just Compassion Resource Center. A team of THREE members are CASA  (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers, and are spending time with CASA families, although not in the manner as before the virus. Several members are providing leadership support to their religious organizations to help support new ways of “doing church”.
