Dear Community Leader,
We hope this finds you safe and well.
Countless residents are currently without electricity and water, but for those who are challenged with preexisting racial and socioeconomic barriers, the impact of recent winter storms is devastatingly amplified. In addition to battling freezing temperatures, power outages, and little to no access to clean water, minority community members now face major food insecurities.
Local organizations, including The Black Leaders Collective, DAWA Fund, The Austin Area Urban League, 10,000 Fearless First Responders, Survive to Thrive Foundation, and Six Square have formed a coordinated effort to help house and feed BIPOC community members who are in dire need of assistance in Travis and Williamson counties.
The Black Leaders Collective has established two initiatives called
"Feeding the Village" and "Serving the Village."
