This episode is part of our series exploring COVID-19’s impact on nonprofits and small businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. Back in April 2020 when we decided to create this ongoing series on Covid-19’s impact first on nonprofits and then on small businesses in the San Francisco Bay. We like you had no idea how long the pandemic would go on and what the health and economic impact would be on our community. As we enter the second half of 2022 with the latest explosion of cases from the most recent covid-19 omicron mutations, along with the masking requirements being changed and folks getting their vaccinations our communities are still struggling to deal with the health, economic, mental, and societal impacts of the ongoing global pandemic.
This all adds to the ongoing uncertainty of our ever-changing indoor and outdoor, vaccinated and unvaccinated protocols and the politics of the pandemic that will drive how we all come back together as a unified or fractured community.
We will continue to shine a spotlight on the nonprofits, and small businesses that make up the fabric of our community along with the founders and staff who are struggling to deal with the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on their operations, services, and sustainability until we can all get to the other side of the pandemic. Along the way, we will also share with you all the amazing solutions that our nonprofits, small businesses, foundations, and government leaders are working on to help us all get to the other side of the pandemic and come together to rebuild our communities with more economic, social and environmental equality
