Community of Caring Christians

An organization called Community of Caring Christians has received a grant that allows them to bring free rapid COVID testing to the doorsteps of people who need it.

“What the grant does is it goes out into the community, in the rural areas. In the areas where people are elderly disabled, sick, and shut-in, they don’t have the transportation to get themselves to a testing site”, said founder Detra McCarty. “Those people are the people we’re going to target. We target the homeless. For whatever reason you can’t get where you need to be tested, we come to you.

The organization serves five counties: Clarke, Wayne, Jasper, Jones, and Lauderdale. For more information you can reach them at (601)-274-2831
