COVID-19 Relief Capabilities and Capacity Survey
Houses of Worship in Anne Arundel County, MD
COVID-19 has placed enormous stress on families. Fear and anxiety about the virus can provoke strong emotions in adults and children. Homeschooling is a new and interesting adventure for all. Many people find themselves without enough food, without access to healthcare, or have become newly unemployed because of the pandemic. Evictions and mortgage defaults could pose significant challenges in the months ahead. What role can Houses of Worship play in slowing the spread of the virus while meeting key community needs related to healthcare, technology, food, and housing? Houses of Worship have long been a source of resilience and recovery for marginalized communities. This survey will help us better understand how Houses of Worship in Anne Arundel County, MD are best positioned to respond to pandemic related needs on behalf of their congregants, parishioners, and community. This information will be used to plan future webinars with potential donors, community organizations, and governmental entities.
