On February 3rd, Nurses from Cherry Health came to Guiding Light to give our staff members vaccinations against the COVID-19 virus. Ten members of our staff received the first dose of the vaccine manufactured by Moderna and are scheduled to receive their second dose in 28 days. We are lucky and grateful here at Guiding Light, as an organization that works with marginalized populations in Grand Rapids, for our staff-members to be able to receive this treatment. We are also grateful to Cherry Health for working with us to facilitate the events that took place here. Hopefully, there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel for all of us as we begin the new year.
Making it through 2020 was a difficult time for all of us. The changes and adjustments we had to make here on the ground level of our organization was something nobody could have imagined this time last year. When we think back to all the craziness and uncertainty that Guiding Light has gone through, whether it was the donation of our building to the Kent County Health Administration, the transfer of our programming off-site, or the suspension and then resuming of client acceptance, it is amazing to look back on how far we have come. We are blessed to be here today, strong as ever, and are humbled by the support you have shown us through all of it. God bless you, our donors, advocates, and volunteers, and thank you so much for everything you have done for Guiding Light to help us get through this truly interesting and unprecedented year, we could not have made it without you.
