Nonprofit organizations across the country are among many who feel the overwhelming impact of COVID-19. But last fall, when several Tuscaloosa nonprofits needed help like never before, the University of Alabama’s student-led organization Serving Bama found a way to safely continue vital, in-person volunteer services, and it continues doing so today.
“We knew that now more than ever, the Tuscaloosa community needed our support,” said Chloe Keck, a senior biology major who is team leader for Serving Bama. “It was important for us to find a way to continue offering services to our community partners, to be consistent and hands-on in the community, while being cognizant of the pandemic and the precautions we needed to take to keep everyone safe.”
