COVID-19 Booster Shots
The Pandemic has been one of IMPACT's primary focuses since its very early stages in Winter of 2019. With developments in vaccinations against the COVID-19 virus, the United States has begun offering booster shots to recipients of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccines. IMPACT shared infographics and resources to assist with making booster shots more accessible. This project upholds IMPACT's goals of increasing outreach and providing education and resources.

COVID-19 Vaccines
Building off of IMPACT's previous projects on the pandemic, the team at IMPACT is providing resources to decrease vaccine hesitancy. Vaccines remain the best safeguard against the virus, and the sooner we can return to normal as more people vaccinate. IMPACT shared articles and publications to decrease vaccine hesitancy to its social media audience. This project upholds IMPACT's goals of increasing outreach and providing education and resources.

Educating on Ramadan
Many misconceptions surround the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The most effective way to clear up these misconceptions is to engage in constructive and respectful dialogue. IMPACT did just that by sharing information and answering questions for its follower base as to what the holy month of Ramadan symbolizes and how it is celebrated and practiced. This project supports IMPACT's goals of education and outreach in an effort to make our communities stronger, more inclusive places.

COVID-19 Resources
With widespread misinformation and conflicting views on the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at IMPACT provided bipartisan and accurate information to its global followers. Misinformation on the pandemic is widespread and worldwide, and therefore this project had a global focus. IMPACT's followers appreciated the frequent and accurate news updates, bulletins, and public service announcements shared on its social media.

Beirut Port Explosion
After the deadly and brutal port explosion in Beirut, the team at IMPACT provided its followers ways to help out and donate to the rebuilding of Beirut.

Haymarket Regional Food Pantry
Charity begins at home. In the suburbs of Washington DC, focusing its efforts locally, IMPACT led a fundraiser to both raise money and resources and educate others about food insecurity. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a record amount of unemployment and poverty, thus making a fundraiser for the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry essential to the local community.
