Care packages conclude; Community report documents lessons learned

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in the plan to gather people from multiple sectors of the community for learning circles. We started sending packages to the people who’d attended a learning circle in their village as a way to stay in touch. After getting a positive reaction to the care packages, we decided to keep sending them regularly to anyone who signed up to receive them. Over 2 years, PC CARES sent Care Packages to 493 recipients in 49 communities in Alaska, with a total number of 1,319 packages sent.
