Just before 10 p.m. Friday night, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced the county’s Public Health Committee unanimously decided to move the COVID-19 threat level from ‘yellow’ to ‘orange’ for unvaccinated people, meaning there’s a moderate risk for transmission. On Saturday, Williams Chicken along East Illinois Avenue partnered with Project Unity to serve as a pop-up vaccination site. Project Unity founder Pastor Ritchie Butler said the event was even more critical with the pace of vaccinations slowing down and the more contagious delta variant of the disease gaining prominence among new cases. “People who are hesitant right now need to be able to identify with a trusted partner, agent and Williams is that,” Pastor Butler said. “We don’t want to disrespect anyone who has a fear. We all have a fear but we want to walk people through their place of fear as a pastor, to a place of trust the vaccine and trust us.”
