(September 3, 2020 10:43 AM) AT&T Michigan is stepping up to help area residents facing hardships as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a $6,000 contribution to Community Action Agency.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our communities, it is important to support organizations like the Community Action Agency that are dedicated to helping those in need during tough times,” said AT&T Michigan President David Lewis. “AT&T recognizes the unprecedented obstacles that occurred as a result of this pandemic. We are proud to work with the Community Action Agency to help provide people with the support they need.”
COVID-19 has drastically increased the need in the Community Action Agency’s service area, which includes Jackson, Hillsdale and Lenawee Counties. The donation will help meet increased needs including funding for food, prescriptions, medical supplies, mortgage/rent and utility, and other recipient needs.
“The Community Action Agency plays a critical role in helping those in need in the tri-county area,” said Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake). “As the pandemic continues to create additional obstacles for residents, it’s great to see AT&T stepping up and working to assist those in need during these unprecedented times.”
The Community Action Agency has been supporting residents in need in Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties since 1965. CAA advocates for struggling individuals, providing them with a variety of programs, from education, to housing and more.
“The individuals and families within our service area have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are doing our best to support them in any way we can,” said Community Action Agency Program Operations Manager Laura Reaume. “This generous donation from AT&T will help us expand our work and support those who may need extra help in these difficult times.”
