Jenny Jobson is the Assistant Director at the Midtown Assistance Center in Atlanta. She manages volunteers and staff who assist clients in need of support with rent, food, and other necessities. When the pandemic started to take hold in Atlanta, it became clear that for the safety of the volunteers and their clients, they would need to take everything remote. Jenny talked about the quick changes they made, how they will affect the business in the long-term, and what their plans are for the future.
