Welcome to the Ezekiel Project
The Ezekiel Project's COVID -19 Statement ...
Greetings Family and Friends of Ezekiel,
In response to the state of emergency our nation is facing due to the COVID-19 virus (“coronavirus”), the Ezekiel Project Team urges you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and vigilant when it comes to your health. Beyond the serious public health implications of this situation, Ezekiel remains concerned about its impact on our democracy, our focus issues, and our most vulnerable communities. While we recognize that there is no area of life that this public health situation will not impact, we urge our constituents to remain active and engaged from home.
Census 2020 is scheduled to begin April 1, 2020. As a member of our community we urge you to complete the Census 2020 packet in its entirety for you and your complete household. Be on the lookout for your Census packet in the mail, you will be able to complete the Census questionnaire online.
Nationally, our Gamaliel colleagues and others are organizing a “virtual” rally to call for the release of the most vulnerable from prisons, jails and detention centers in order to keep them safe. Keep free THURSDAY, March 19, at 1:00 pm Eastern. At that time, we will be joining with people all across Gamaliel for a De-carceration Day of Action. We will be calling for our governments to act quickly to reduce our prison and jail populations. Sometime today I will send out a link so you can join this nation-wide rally.
The Saginaw Community Foundation has compiled a list of food distribution sites for students/children in Saginaw County. They are working to keep the most current information available at the link below. http://www.saginawfoundation.org/site/saginaw-county-food-distribution/
As we are moving forward the staff at the Ezekiel Project will no longer be working in the main office at the First Congregational Church to ensure the health and safety of our staff and volunteers. you will still be able to be contacted through various avenues including our office number (989) 755-1620 or our email at ezekielinformation@gamil.com.
We encourage you to put your health first and be mindful of others. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will continue to update you on any community updates and opportunities through our website and social media venues.
Prayerfully,
The Ezekiel Project team
