One year ago today I was driving to drop my daughter off to dance class, and I’d been listening to the news. I realized things were about to get pretty bad.
I felt this intense push to start something immediately where we could at least chat as a community about what we could do to weather the storm.
I reached out to Sara of mercyletters (The talent who does all of my logos) and gave her an idea, and within a day she has an image created we had started the conversation - Community Over Corona. (At that point we didn’t even know we’d be calling it Covid.) swipe to see just a few of the challenges.
It was the first community effort like this that we saw, and immediately  other communities around the country reached out asking if they could do something similar. (Um YES!) 
This last year has been a total shit show in a lot of ways. A LOT. But man. Our community has come together. I wish sometimes I could showcase the view I see, and how many people are sincerely wanting to help one another.
If you were one of the many hundreds of people who reached out saying that you wanted to be more involved in community efforts, please check your email for a survey that we have sent out. You’ll receive it from the email address support@hellomeridian.com
If you would like to receive that survey, and are interested in participating in upcoming service projects, please reach out to that address letting them know.
There’s still much to be done. #hellomeridian #hellomeridiancommunity #coccidaho #communityovercorona
