Operation Julia
In response to the virus pandemic, we at The Julia Burke Foundation have accelerated our grantmaking locally, regionally and nationally. We have partnered with the impressive organizations below to help meet food and other immediate community needs, provide a new high volume quick response Covid robotic testing machine for the San Francisco Bay Area, plus provide medical supplies for National Guardsmen responding in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and supplies and equipment for a hospital in Florida.
We invite others to add their support to these and other organizations helping all of us to meet new pandemic related medical and economic challenges now and going forward:
