Stay Connected with Partner Meeting Updates and United Way Wednesday on Facebook
Every Tuesday afternoon during the COVID-19 pandemic, United Way of Greater Topeka convenes a one-hour video conference call to connect local nonprofit representatives. These calls allow all partners to share changes to and impacts on the services they provide to the community. In this extraordinary time of crisis, keeping the line of communication open is crucial to making sure that critical services continue to be available to those in need.
This weekly check in allows our local nonprofits to problem-solve together and to share available resources and volunteers where the need is greatest. Already the group was able to prevent a partner from having to shut down lunch distribution by linking food resources and volunteers to the agency in need. The group also maintains a shared document where they can update in real time any service or policy changes. That document is also being used by Kansas 211 to help get the most current information to their callers.
We will pass on any important information from the Tuesday partner call to you during our now-weekly United Way Wednesday live segment on Facebook. You can also watch the recordings of previous United Way Wednesday videos.
