ELIZABETHTON â There are lots of stories about the way institutions have been damaged and destroyed by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the misfortune has led to the creation of new and resourceful institutions as well.
Loaves and Fishes Outreach Ministry in Carter County was not created by the pandemic. The organization combined with Rivers Edge Fellowship at 1200 U.S. Highway 19E, since there was a homeless shelter for men there, said Serena Miller, spokeswoman for the outreach ministry. She said it has been feeding the hungry in Carter County for a long time, but a new challenge came with the start of the pandemic.
The 2021 Pantone Colours of the Year are here. Two colours, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, were selected for their “enduring and uplifting” vibe. It’s not the first time Pantone has selected two shades as colour of the year: in 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity shared the title. In 2020, the colour of the year was Classic Blue.
Ultimate Gray is described as a colour “emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation,” while Illuminating is a “bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power.” It’s a colour story that Pantone says encapsulated “thoughtfulness” and “the promise of something sunny and friendly.”
