As a member of Fourth Street Clinic’s Corporate Council, I am committed to raising $1000 to help support the purchase of COVID-19 test kits, protective clothing for the clinic’s medical staff and other
necessary equipment to support this work. I am reaching out to you today to ask you to join me in making a monetary contribution, every dollar is vital at this time.  Members of our homeless community are particularly hard-hit with this global pandemic. Many lack access to basic hand hygiene that is the first line of defense. Not having housing to quarantine in and seeking shelter in our local resource centers that have 200 – 300 people in close quarters only increases their exposure risk as well. Additionally, many of the patients served at Fourth Street Clinic have underlying medical conditions that put them at a greater risk.

P.S. During National Community Health Center Week, Fourth Street Clinic is hosting two informational discussions with local experts on the impact of COVID-19 on our community’s homeless and Mental Health and Homelessness. I hope you will join us in August to learn more about the role of Fourth Street Clinic and their impact.
