1. Donate to nonprofits helping to respond to COVID-19—and your other favorite causes as well.
2. Your voice is powerful—use it to help individuals and organizations. We highly suggest you to call your local senators to help the restaurant industry. They need your help so much.
3. Buy gift cards for your local business owners. They need your help to survive!
4. Check on your neighbors!
5. Try to not to waste food. As we all should try practicing this all the time, however, this time is even more critical. Repurpose leftovers! There are tons of chef’s sharing how to do that!
6. Give blood! As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, we can expect to see a decrease in those eligible (and willing) to donate blood.
7. Remember those who are still on the front lines. Once we're on the other side of this crisis, we're going to have a whole lot of people to thank. Grocery store clerks, nurses and doctors, police officers and firefighters, the people who work at the laundromat, sanitation workers, delivery people, teachers who taught our kids virtually, and more. We may not be able to do much right now, but start brainstorming how you can help them in the near future. Call those who are on the front lines and see if you can send them food, water, etc. Tip your driver heavily!
8. Take care of yourself. It’s really hard to get wrapped up in a lot of media and news. Do your best to unplug as much as you can. It’s good for your mental headspace.
9. Seniors! Check on them. If you have a family member in a facility, respect the rules.
10. Stay HOME!
