FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Fresno County public health officials say vaccines are also on the way for the homeless.
Work is now underway to figure out a safe and efficient way to vaccinate those who live on the street and the people who provide services for them. They re in Phase 1B, said Fresno County Interim Health Officer Dr. Rais Vohra.
Fresno Mission CEO Matt Dildine says the non-profit continues to operate overcapacity, but has been forced to reduce some of the ways they deliver services during the pandemic.
FRESNO â To support communities amid the ongoing pandemic, Bank of America has awarded $1,009,300 to 42 local nonprofits and communities across the Fresno/Visalia region in 2020, focusing on emergency response, food insecurity, community development and virtual education. In addition to this philanthropic capital, which is double its giving in 2019, Bank of America also donated 374,000 PPE masks and 800 8-ounce bottles of hand sanitizer to farmworkers and other essential workers in the region.
This year, notable philanthropic investments included grants that enabled the Fresno Mission to buy a refrigerated van that will help it expand its food collection efforts and feed more people in need, helped Poverello House acquire comfortable temporary housing that will provide beds for 60 people per night, and supported Community Medical Center in relaunching its employee assistance program providing emergency grants to its frontline workers.
