When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, Texans were limited in how they could serve their communities â but still found ways to help.
Jordan West, the Faith in Action coordinator at Baylor Scott & White, said those residents were innovative in connecting people to resources.Â
 âObviously, lots of faith communities shut down and were limited in what we were allowed to do,â West said. âThat being said our faith and community health volunteers still wanted a way to serve the community.â
West highlighted how hand sanitizer distributions at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the many ways people stayed engaged with their communities.
