COVID-19 Response

With the support of our generous community partners, MHNW was able to urgently respond to the demand for basic needs and services when COVID-19 changed all of our lives, particularly those who are most vulnerable in our communities. This support for residents came in all forms, as we addressed dramatic shifts in work, school, and home life – from navigating a remote learning environment to ensuring financial stability.
