Valuing the work of faith-based institutions.

FACTS serves as the neutral hub and partner responsible for and distributing PPE kits and other resources to the faith-based partners. Faith-based partners are uniquely positioned in these communities, offering physical space, convenings, and services. By joining to provide tools (PPE) and critical information, FACTS will help keep people safe, help to flatten the curve, and sustain citizens across the region.

  • Provide PPE to their parishioners during convenings.
  • Make PPE available for parishioners sheltering in place.
  • Conduct community hours during which members of the surrounding community can receive PPE kits and critical information.

Dr. Rashawn Ray and Solutions for the COVID-19 Equity Problem

“The most vulnerable populations aren’t pre-disposed to trust hospitals and traditional government institutions (schools, city halls, etc.). We know from other forms of social practice that if you want to create change in a community, you have to meet people where they are and where they feel comfortable and safe. Empirical evidence shows us that churches and church leaders are able to serve this role, even for community members who do not attend church regularly.”

- The FACTS approach, which is tailored to meet the specific cultural, historic and language needs of disproportionately impacted populations, was recently lifted by Dr. Rayshawn Ray during his recent speech at the City Club of Cleveland.
