Reaching People At Home

Two things happened simultaneously at the beginning of the pandemic: everyone was forced to stay home and needs in the community shot through the roof.

People needed more information and access to resources than ever before, but this became even more difficult as people had to stay home. We started asking, "How can we reach people and give them information that will help them find services and know what is available to them in the community?"

We knew we had to turn to the internet. Providing helpful resources online was the best bet we had.

We simultaneously launched weekly articles on our website and a podcast aptly titled, Serve Denton Weekly. These articles and podcasts featured local leaders and nonprofits talking in-depth about the issues they tackle, how they can help those in need and how people can get involved and help others.

We answered frequently asked questions that people were asking about services and interviewed more than 25 local leaders by the end of the year.

We are continuing to produce articles and podcasts. You can find them on our website at servedenton.org/podcast or on any podcast app.
