ベンチュラ郡コミュニティ財団、コビッド19対応基金へのマッチング・ファンドを発表
Jeffery Lambert, Chief Operating Officer for Ventura County Community Foundation wants to remind Ventura County residents that “Covid is not over, the impact is still there” said Lambert. “It’s not going away simply because everyone is vaccinated,” he added.
The current health and economic challenges since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic continue, so do community needs. Food Share Inc. a Ventura County Community Foundation partner has gone from serving meals to 75,000 people per month to 150,000 people since the start of the pandemic.
The Amgen Foundation has announced it will contribute $300,000 in matching grants to VCCF’s Rapid Response Fund. “our goal is to triple the fund with matching contributions, for every fifty cents they give us we will attempt to raise $1.00 in matching funds.” Lambert added. “In addition, we want to continue to fund non-profits that serve individuals and families affected by Covid-19.” He added.
マッチング・キャンペーンで集められた資金は、COVID-19に関連する食料・住居支援、育児、賃金代替、メンタルヘルスケアなど、個人や家族の継続的なニーズに取り組む地元の非営利団体に役立てられる。
A speaker’s program, available on-line produced by the VCCF, offers a series of forty-five-minute videos that tell the story of the real impact Covid-19 has had on our community. “They are really powerful hearing the stories of people on the ground making the impact happen by providing direct relief,” Said Lambert. “We are not out of this crisis yet we are still deep into it and the real impact is still there and will be for some time to come,” he said.
