CindyDuring this holiday season we count our blessings and look forward to giving! For many people this year due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and economic hardship there are many fellow citizens in need. What are some ways to give kindly?
- Drop off a home cooked meal to the doorstep of a person in need
- Call to chat with a family member or friend who lives alone
- Donate food or funds to local food banks … there is a record number of people in need of food this year https://www.feedingamerica.org/ways-to-give
- Purchase a gift card from a local restaurant or other small merchants to help keep them in business
- Grocery shop for others while using all COVID-19 precautions and deliver groceries safely to their doorstep
- Write to the elderly in nursing homes
- Purchase take-out or delivery meals from local restaurants to help them stay in business
- Donate books and supplies to local educational outreach programs for children
- Post and share Mental Health Hotlines … Mental Health is now a global concern due to isolation, lack of income and lack of food caused by the COVID-19 crisis … https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline
- Share local healthcare information with anyone who needs a healthcare professional
Wishing everyone happy holidays! Hoping you stay safe. Be well!
