After a year of learning how to operate in a new normal due to the COVID 19 pandemic, how have military-connected nonprofits continued to grow, learn, and serve? What new trends have arisen? Which are exacerbated by COVID 19? How are we building new capacity to meet these needs? How do we address the extreme unemployment rates facing military spouses and caregivers? This panel will raise the awareness to the needs, challenges, and importance of community support services, to include workplace initiatives, food security, mental health support, and connected care. A collaborative approach between organizations is necessary in addressing military-connected communities. Panel members will present current efforts to elevate knowledge, promote support, and increase access to community support services, as well as employment initiatives for military-connected communities.
