Volunteering and service are more important during a crisis than ever. Social distancing does not mean social isolation. We're all in this together, so be a helper. Let's all do our part to contribute to the common good, so that when this crisis is over, we're proud of how we came together.
1. Help seniors or others who are isolated.
2. Help provide access to meals for students who rely on school meals.
3. Older teens and college students can provide childcare for family/friends/neighbors if schools are closed, but parents still have to work.
4. Raise money for relief organizations or local nonprofits.
5. Donate blood.
6. Foster shelter animals.
7. Protect the mental health of your family, friends, and neighbors.
8. Spread facts and promote the behaviors individuals should be doing to stop the spread of the virus.
