In the Midst of the Pandemic, Home Builders Began 2021 with our
$100,000 COVID CRISIS RECOVERY INITIATIVE
The initiative targets assistance to key local nonprofits that have been instrumental in providing intensified emergency services during the pandemic. Through this initiative, we are aiming to supplement our provision of transitional shelter by helping safeguard essential services that are greatly needed during these challenging times.

Columbia Community Care is a grassroots "neighbor helping neighbor" food distribution program in Howard County. Funds are being used to support their 100% volunteer run pantries and distribution sites. There are no barriers for families to receive assistance.

During the the first quarter of 2021, $100,000 was allocated to 10 local nonprofits, each serving a local jurisdiction within our service footprint. This amounted to about $10k per jurisdiction. Videos from each of our beneficiaries, who talked about their exponential work during the pandemic, are posted on our YouTube Channel. Funds were donated directly to effective organizations that provide emergency services such as assistance with paying rent, utilities, food and other basic needs.
