Since the middle of March, the entire world, including the United States, has faced the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19. With locally declared emergencies, all businesses and activities were grounded. HSS Wisconsin region volunteers considered this challenging time as a time to offer services and help in the surrounding community and for first responders and healthcare professionals.HSS volunteers worked in groups to feed needy and homeless people, support senior citizens, supply groceries to the needy, make PPEs, provide meals and PPE to first responders, and did fundraising for food pantries and local relief organizations. They also collaborated with and brought together several other organizations to multiply these efforts and help. Volunteers were able to service 7 homeless shelters in primarily Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Madison, Kakauna, Appleton and Green Bay areas.. Here is the summary of efforts made Given below are some of the pictures of the activities conducted |
