We focus on this during our Facebook live weekly show, called We Got Your 6@6 Patriot Playtime. It was initially just a way for our volunteers to communicate during the beginning stages of covid, but it has grown into a platform for other nonprofits with the same goals as us to share their experience and knowledge.
