Stay Covered Together

With higher rates of chronic health conditions, limited access to health care and greater economic insecurity, communities of color are being hit the hardest by the unrelenting coronavirus pandemic. #StayCoveredTogether is a new public service campaign being funded by The Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) in communities that recently received grant money through The Audacious Project to support COVID-19 relief and recovery efforts. One of those cities is Atlanta.

The message is simple: Stay at home. But, if you must go out for essential tasks, keep your distance and wear a mask to protect your neighbors and those on the frontlines who are there to protect us all.

Purpose Built Communities received a $2 million grant through The Audacious Project to support COVID-19 relief and recovery efforts of three organizations in Atlanta: East Lake Foundation, Grove Park Foundation and Focused Community Strategies. The critical funds will help meet the short- and long-term needs of vulnerable residents and community wellness partners in the East Lake, Grove Park and Historic South Atlanta neighborhoods. The first initiative is the #StayCoveredTogether campaign.
