BhamStrong has launched a program to fight COVID-19 by providing Birmingham Strong Service Corps members to help staff local nonprofits performing relief services. In the BhamStrong Nonprofit Partnership, service corps members work under the supervision and direction of approved nonprofit organizations for two to eight weeks, while being paid a living wage by BhamStrong.
BhamStrong’s mission is to empower workers and support the Birmingham community to build resilience through the coronavirus pandemic. Through this new program, BhamStrong amplifies the impact of nonprofit projects that meet COVID-19 relief needs for Birmingham residents.
“Birmingham’s main asset is our community,” said Suzanna Fritzberg, executive director of BhamStrong. “Through the BhamStrong Nonprofit Partnership, we are proud to bring together organizations driving COVID relief efforts and service corps members who are eager to support their work. We are grateful for the support of local donors and the city of Birmingham that enables the service corps to continue to meet community needs during this challenging time.”
