As we watch the coronavirus pandemic play out on a global scale, it’s easy to feel helpless. But no matter who you are or what your situation, you can make a difference. Even if you’re quarantined at home, there are still many ways to get involved and give back, including donating money or supplies, volunteering virtually, and checking in on people who might need support.
Seniors and Kids are most vulnerable in this time of crisis. They are struggling to access food at this time and are looking for our support to help. The pandemic has been challenging, so our most urgent need is to have enough fresh and nutritious food for the community.
The easiest way to give back is by reaching out to the people you know. Neighbors, friends, co-workers, and relatives can all benefit from a friendly text or video call. It may seem like a small gesture, but don’t underestimate the positive impact of checking up on someone. Start with those who might feel vulnerable right now. This could be your elderly neighbor who is cut off from their social connections or your friend who suffers from anxiety and depression. Providing a touchstone for someone during this time is one of the best ways to be of service. And it will help ease your own anxieties as well and give you an emotional boost.
If you’re relatively young and healthy, another way to help is by running errands for those who are at higher risk of serious illness. Think of those in your local social circle who are elderly, disabled, or housebound. Reach out and see if they need help picking up groceries or prescriptions. You can leave bags outside their door to maintain a safe distance. Local social media groups or sites like Facebook or Nextdoor can help put you in touch with people in need in your area.
While many people don’t have extra funds right now, if you’re one of the lucky ones who do, consider donating to Helping hands that are making a difference during the pandemic.
Your ongoing support is needed more than ever. In the communities we are working with, Children and families are already facing challenges that many of us could never imagine and those challenges have become even harder with the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Your donation will go to support Seniors, children, and families facing difficulties in accessing food.
