CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - People and Congregations Engaged in Ministry (PACEM) opens its doors at University Baptist Church every night to shelter those in need. However, as the temperatures drop and the need increases, so do COVID-19 infection rates in the area.
“Really abrupt change is not easy, so in the early stages, it was really a lot of repeat messaging about mask wearing and staying 6-feet apart,” said Jayson Whitehead, executive director of PACEM.
