As of this writing, funds in the Faithify Community Relief fund had reached a total of $20,755, from 49 donors! We are grateful to all the donors for your generosity and compassion. By supporting this fund you have assisted the great work of CU Better Together, CU Fair’s Pandemic Response Fund, and the Red Herring’s Bucket Brigade.

We are still in the midst of this campaign, but dispersal of the funds has already begun.  Each of the three organizations was sent a check for $4,206.21 on June 15.

The donors have made a huge difference in the lives of people in Champaign Urbana who are suffering from food insecurity and economic distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand that the economic recovery following this pandemic will take many months. The most vulnerable people in our community may continue to need help for quite a while, and we intend to do as much as we can to assist them. Thank you for being caring neighbors.
