Last year’s letter to you in October 2020 was an acknowledgement of the pain that events had brought on our community and a sense of hope we were seeing rise up. Little did we realize the COVID-19 pandemic would turn even harsher and its impacts more grim. This past year has been a continued testament to the work of our local partners who have persevered through extraordinary challenges to continue the mission of serving our friends and neighbors all over our county.
We also saw the impacts of the pandemic begin to lessen as we approached our fiscal year end. Yet, there is a reality that recovery will take years in our community along with a persistent concern about mutant virus strains.
Even in the darkest of times, the people of our community have been unstoppable in their giving, loving, compassion and commitment. Hope continued to fuel action even when resolve might have wavered. Commitment overcame weakness even when things seemed their grimmest. The people of Stanislaus County and the partners of First 5 Stanislaus were unstoppable. Our community is unstoppable in the face of crisis. And as we move forward in the process of recovery and rebuilding in our community, our pledge is to continue to be unstoppable.
We encourage you to look at this year’s report which shows how our community partners continued to reach out and serve . . . even in a pandemic throttled, virtual-meeting model. We are blessed to have some of the best service organizations working right here in Stanislaus County and we’re pleased to feature the Hughson Family Resource Center in this year’s Report to the Community.
We are reaching out to our community to support and encourage families.
