The COVID-19 Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Response Fund has granted over $200,000 in funds to local nonprofits who are working tirelessly with the vulnerable populations in our community during the COVID-19 crisis. As of May 8th, $287,386 has been raised for this effort. The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County and United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County granted an additional $66,000 to local nonprofits on May 8th. In their next phase of funding, The Community Foundation and United Way will continue to address the needs of mental healthcare and child care for essential workers in addition to addressing the needs of access to food and safe shelter.
Last week, the following organizations will receive grants from this Fund: Adagio House, Boys & Girls Clubs of Harrisonburg-Rockingham, Brain Injury Connections of the Shenandoah Valley, Bridge of Hope, Church World Service Harrisonburg Immigration & Refugee Resettlement, Ciomite Salvadoreno Paisanos Unidos, Elkton Area United Services, Emmanuel Episcopal Church Food Pantry, Family Life Resource Center, First Step, Harrisonburg Rockingham Child Day Care Center, Lacey Spring Community Food Pantry, New Bridges Immigrant Resource Center, Open Doors, Our Community Place, RISE UMFC, Roberta Webb Child Care Center, Salvation Army, Second Home Learning Center, The Arc of Harrisonburg-Rockingham, Way to Go, Inc., and Harrisonburg First Responders.
Funds will go towards a range of specific needs from insuring that individuals continue to receive mental health treatment to food and operational costs for food pantry programs that will impact 500 families. The impact of these nonprofits’ work is insurmountable.
The Community Foundation and United Way are unable to accept applications from nonprofits for Phase 2 – Round 2 of COVID-19 funding at this time. Grant applications will be open later in May when more donations are received. The Community Foundation and United Way are still accepting gifts for the COVID-19 HR Community Response Fund.
