Neighbors Together for Good

WHEN: April 2020
WHERE: Del Norte County

When the pandemic turned the world upside down, True North mobilized to bring our community together to protect the most vulnerable among us.

We formed Neighbors Together for Good, a project aimed at ensuring that elderly folks and immunocompromised individuals were able to safely shelter in place, setting up a hotline and a network of volunteers to provide them with groceries, prescriptions, and other support.

We made a webpage with useful information about COVID-19, including COVID "mythbusting", tips and tricks for sheltering in place, local information about food banks and health clinics, and more.  

Even though (thankfully!) the pandemic didn’t hit Humboldt or DNATL as hard as other parts of the country, we showed that we are a community that cares about each other and shows up for each other - and will continue to do so!

Now, as we enter a second peak of the virus, we know that we have the infrastructure and the compassion necessary to support each other.

Currently, we are collecting funds online for our neighbors who were left out of the stimulus package, including un- and underemployed Native Americans and undocumented individuals. Suzanne O’Dea has generously agreed to match all donations up to $5,000, so you can double your donation today! We have already raised $8,320 and begun distributing funds to our neighbors in need.
