Communities
By working through a network of organizations embedded within their communities, the ASU/Luce COVID-19 Rapid Relief fund provides support to help meet the basic needs of individuals and families affected by the pandemic, including assistance with rent, utilities, food, PPE, hygiene, baby formula, diapers, technology access, and refrigeration equipment. Organizations were selected through a competitive application process and have established track records of ensuring that help goes towards those how need it.
Students have collected both archival items and stories--revealing a process through which journalists and communities develop narratives about everyday experience, including life under the pandemic.
