What interesting times we live in! The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt redefined 2020 as a year like no other.  With over 23 million recorded cases and more than 800,000 deaths, the disruption caused by the pandemic has left an indelible mark on us all. The onset of nationwide shutdown and global movement restrictions left many under-served communities in a vulnerable state as they were faced with the realities of starvation and exposure to the virus. Our efforts have thus been geared towards minimizing families’ starvation, while increasing awareness of the virus and known safety measures. Here is a summary of what TIS Foundation has been doing during this period to support at-risk communities within the United States and Africa.

TIS Food Drives:

Beginning in June, we became more aggressive in our campaign for Food Security Distribution in the United States and Africa. We hosted a hugely successful COVID-19 food drive at our Washington, DC headquarters on July 3^rd, 2020 and with the help of volunteers and staff, distributed over 2200 pallets of food to community partners and families that were in need.
