The United Way is asking families how is the COVID-19 crisis impacting them financially? Louisiana Association of United Ways President Sarah Berthelot says they are asking residents to complete their online survey that starts off by asking what is your most pressing concern.
“It brings them to 25 question survey that asks them about job changes, child care access changes, how their savings and assets have been depleted,” said Berthelot.
Berthelot says many families are in a financial position they’ve never been in before. She says the answers to the survey will help United Way determine what kind of assistance families need.
“So that can we channel donated resources, donated funds, programs and other opportunities that solve the most urgent problems,” said Berthelot.
Berthelot says you can go to launitedway.org to complete the ten-minute survey. She hopes to receive several hundred responses from every region of the state.
Berthelot says survey launched on Tuesday and they’ve already had about one-thousand respondents.
