Join us for a discussion with four integral social, safety, and educational agencies #InTheBerkshires. In this panel and Q&A style virtual town hall we will focus on the community impacts that an extended closure due to COVID-19 can, and is having on the fabric of the region. Gain deeper insight into the harsh realities of how the shut-down is impacting individuals, families, organizations and more from the people on the front line. Hear directly from them about their work on food insecurity, early childhood care, domestic violence, and K-12 education, and walk away with a fuller understanding of the challenges they along with our region are facing, the support they will need, and the outlook we need to be prepared for.
