Is there ever a good day for a toothache or leaky roof? Is there ever a bad day to hear encouragement?
Tell someone that you appreciate them, genuinely, regularly, because you don’t know what they are going through.

Do you know someone who contracted COVID and would be willing to help a survey, for higher quality information to serve the public?
We are thankful for our church members who work in the medical community! One of them is directly involved with this study. They need help in gathering information from minority communities in particular. The following message is from her. Please share this.
We launched a nationwide study (the US States, Territories, Districts) aiming to enroll 25,000 people to determine how many people have had “Long COVID” or post-acute symptoms from COVID-19 infection.
There is lots of discussion about “long haulers” but we just don’t know enough regarding who is affected and how many people. There is no national reporting.
So, we decided we needed more information. To make this work we need to have as many people as possible with COVID-19 (either tested positive or symptoms with exposure) enrolled.
We are looking for anyone (18+) who meets these criteria (asymptomatic, mild, severe infections) and those with and without long-term symptoms.
Please share the following link (far and wide—but restricted to the US States, Territories, Districts) with your family, friends, colleagues, and other contacts. The social media tags are also listed below and we know word of mouth works well.
The website is www.covid-long.com.
Thank you,
Eryka on behalf of the COVID Long team.

Over 2020 we distributed more than 7,100 boxes of groceries. Each box is designed for one family. We were a large majority of the funding and volunteers that made this possible. We are thankful for YWAM Baltimore prompting us with the idea and being an essential partner of volunteers and administration. We networked more than a dozen churches and non-profits to ensure that about 75% of these boxes are delivered directly to people in need, confirmed by organizations who are directly connected with each person. This includes several church food pantries that we have supplied.
We are working on new logistic sources to improve this in 2021. We are still participating with groups working together to establish a location in the city that will enable us to predictably provide boxes of groceries.
Right now, groceries are available through Baltimore City.
Boxes can be safely delivered directly by responding to the “Home Delivered Grocery Boxes” link here:
