Written By: Peter McClungLike you, we’ve spent the past two weeks learning to embrace a new normal. While the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic head-on, I’ve watched my family, our work family and friends band together to support one another, in new creative ways.
It’s taught all of us a powerful lesson about the importance of connection, that although we may be separated by distance, the only way to get through this is together. Classes are moving online, churches are streaming services and many parents have stepped up to help school-aged kids navigate these uncharted waters.
The stories of generosity, bravery and support are endless and beautiful. As nurses and doctors fight on the front lines, truckers are driving days on end to deliver supplies, store workers are stocking round the clock and crafters are constructing masks to aid healthcare workers, to name a few.
Meanwhile, on The Jump, we’re seeing groups and friends come together like never before. Troops are working on badges virtually, coaches are inspiring their players with daily challenges, churches are moving their small groups onto the app and strangers are sharing advice on everything from quarantine cooking to help with homeschooling.
With that in mind, we hope The Jump can continue to serve as a resource for uniting your loved ones. If you have questions about the app, feature requests or would like us to help connect a group you’re a part of on The Jump, send us a note at help@thejump.com. Our team is happy to help.
Hopefully, as our lives return to a new normal in the coming weeks, we’ll always remember the value of staying connected both on and offline.
