FOCUS ON COMMUNITY MINISTRY PARTNERS AND RACIAL EQUITY

We all know that the COVID-19 pandemic brought widespread illness and death as well as extreme economic dislocation and hardship. In addition, the pandemic also exposed long-standing and pre-existing racial disparities in healthcare and other areas of American life. The Community Ministry Committee recently asked our community partner organizations how they were addressing these disparities and the related issues of inclusiveness and racism. Here are the responses we have received so far:

St. Thomas Community Health Center

JLNO Diaper Bank

Kinship Senior Center

STAIR (Start the Adventure in Reading)

Cafe Reconcile

YMCA of Greater New Orleans
