IMPACT OF COVID-19

In March 2020, the COVID-19 Pandemic changed everyday life. The Sharing Center

was able to adapt during this time, managing relationships with clients and fostering

new community partnerships meant to further accessibility to necessary programs

and services.

While operations were altered, the commitment to the safety and care of clients,

employees, and volunteers remained of the utmost importance. Enhanced cleaning

measures, limited in-person services, car side pick-up, and free deliveries allowed

the Center to continue to provide support to Western Kenosha County residents

without a compromise to health and safety of all.

In August 2021, nearly 18 months after the Pandemic hit, the Sharing Center hosted

several walk-in vaccination clinics in partnership with Kenosha County Health

Department, Kenosha Community Health Center, Inc., and Advocate Aurora Health.

Hosting these types of events in Western Kenosha County bridges the gap in access

that can be a barrier to community members.
