Charity programs may be the key to connecting employers with their remote employees according to a Dallas Morning News article from March 15th. In it they say:
“The COVID-19 pandemic may be one of the most consequential events in our lifetimes, profoundly affecting societies, businesses and economies around the world. And, in North Texas and across the U.S., calls for social justice and racial equity add another layer of urgency for lawmakers, civic and business leaders to reshape society.
Meanwhile, the pandemic is forcing droves of employees to work remotely, causing or perhaps exacerbating feelings of disconnect from management and colleagues.”
More than that, educational charities also need a boost right now according to a different Dallas Morning News article from April 4th. In it they say:
“The Dallas County Promise had 89% of this year’s eligible seniors sign on to its pledge by the end of March. That was down from 99% who signed on last year. And the program had seen an 8% drop in students who enrolled in college in the fall compared with fall 2019.
Going to community college — even for free — was not an option for many students this past year, said Katrina James, the Promise’s managing director.
Some students couldn’t afford it despite the help as they had to support themselves or others — especially as many service-industry jobs where college students tend to find work were hurt. Others couldn’t adjust to a virtual experience when nearly all classes were shifted online.”
Yes times are hard right now, but a small donation can go a long way for fellow Dallas residents and students in need.
