While many of us are feeling a bit helpless these days, there are many things we can do to support our neighbors and local community. Here are four ways you can help your community during this hectic time.

Stay Home As Much As Possible

Staying inside is more difficult than many of us thought, but it is extremely important. Limiting your trips outside to essential activities is one of the best things you can do for your community.  When you do need to go out, be sure to follow CDC and social distancing guidelines and be patient with those working to serve you.

Donate To Food Pantries

If you have the means to help the less fortunate, now is the time to do so. Food pantries are struggling to keep food and essential household items stocked. Anything you can do to help will surely be appreciated. Whether it is a financial gift or the goods themselves, every little bit helps.

Order Delivery From Local Restaurants

The restaurant industry has been impacted significantly in the last few weeks. Many have closed, and those that remain open are doing so in a limited capacity. Supporting your smaller, local restaurants by ordering delivery can help them keep the doors open. Plus you’ll get to enjoy some delicious food!

Help Support The Medical Community

The medical community are the ones taking care of those who fall ill, and they are in dire need of our support. Whether it’s donating masks and sanitizer, or simply posting thank you messages to your social profile, keeping these essential workers well supplied and their spirits high is a priority right now.
