One woman decided to start a community group to help combat the pandemic and it has become a force for good in the county.
On March 16, 2020, Mary Scott Buck created a Facebook Group called Calloway County Collective to help meet community needs caused by the pandemic.
“You know, there were all these specific things being depleted at the store and running out on the shelves,” Buck said. “And everybody was kind of going through the same thing.”
Buck said she noticed a lot of people asking the same questions, but not getting timely responses at the start of the pandemic. She said she thought it would be easier if everyone could get together to share information faster and the group grew from there.
