Local nonprofits have had to get creative and operate with few to no volunteers amid COVID-19 transmission fears and related restrictions on in-person gatherings.
In addition to having been hit hard by a reduction in donations, some organizations have been stretched thin by the loss of volunteer help. The amount allowed for in-person indoor gatherings in Fayetteville is limited to the number of people who can maintain a minimum of six feet from each other while in the facility.
A local nonprofit, Laundry Love, provides food, detergent and funds so low-income and no-income families can wash clothing and linens. Before COVID-19, families and individuals could go into the laundromats and connect with the volunteers, who provided them with meals and helped wash, dry and fold their laundry. The charity has had to postpone its volunteer program and change its dynamic.
