March 2020. COVID-19 is forcing all of us to make changes. Many of us are taking extra precautions to stay safe. But some in our community don’t have the same resources to take care of their health.

Ruddick is collecting supplies to help keep the homeless community safe. She says hand sanitizers are vital, but so are thermometers.
