I don’t want to return to the world that we knew before COVID-19.
I can’t turn away from what this pandemic has revealed about us: White Americans benefit at the cost of everyone else. It is plain to see in the number of Black lives lost to poverty and homelessness.
Will you join me in solving this societal disgrace?

Q&A with Pediatric Social Worker Debbie Wilcox
Both Baltimore City and Baltimore County schools are starting with distance learning this fall, and parents everywhere are scrambling to figure out what it means to have their kids at home all day.
Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) members Julia Kohler and Rachel Larson spent the last year volunteering at Health Care for the Homeless as part of our Engagement and Communications Departments respectively. As they wrap up their time in Baltimore, including five months teleworking from the LVC house in Hampden, we asked them to reflect on the service year.
In June, 170 people joined our inaugural Community of Practice conversation Addressing Racial Inequities in Health Care. As you read through the questions we explored with our panelists, take a moment to reflect on your own answers.
Have you made any changes during the pandemic that you’ll carry forward? For us, providing care over the phone to clients like Antonio Barnes has been a major breakthrough.

Bushra Lohrasbi is always on the run—literally. And not even a quarantine can stop her.
It was late-April and Bushra was like most of us: stuck at home. COVID-19 had brought an early end to her final semester at Penn State, and she was back at her parents’ house in Ellicott City, looking for a way to help.
Ranette and David have known each other since the fourth grade. In fact, David was Ranette’s first boyfriend. They grew apart, but found their way back to each other. And last fall, they got engaged and began the exciting (and stressful) process of planning their wedding.
