The Tri-County Interfaith Partnership invites you to join a historical event where faith leaders from across the region unite their voices and bring hope to our communities.  Considered some of the most trusted neighborhood messengers, faith leaders play a vital role in helping people overcome vaccine hesitancy and feel safe in taking the vaccination.  

Equity is at the core of this partnership, ensuring that we support smaller faith-based groups that are often volunteer-based, and carry the spiritual load of grieving families, while simultaneously providing assistance to their community needs, such as vaccine access and support. These faith-based organizations, located in some of the most underserved regions, are usually left behind. 

Our event will explore some key themes:

• The role of faith leaders as some of the most trusted messengers who can influence followers to overcome hesitancy and take vaccines.

• The Importance of a diverse group of health experts that represent our communities' demographics and can relate COVID-19 messaging in a culturally-relevant way.

• The resources and tools, such as messaging, available to help faith leaders. 

• The success of partnering with county officials in ensuring vulnerable populations have the connections they need to access vaccines.The intersection of people with disabilities and people of faith, particularly when it comes to seniors in communities of color. 

We also extend this invitation to philanthropy, government, and other community partners that can support faith-based organizations in our region.
