You can also use this opportunity to spend quality time with your families, delve into subjects that interest you, rethink your priorities, practice gratitude, and reinforce healthy habits. I have gathered the following resources to help you. Please also take advantage of the information available under my Resources tab.

Suggestions on how to help:
  • Check on your elderly neighbors: offer to do yard work or if you drive, to pick up groceries or medications for them
  • Meals for children – many schools are still providing breakfast and lunch for those in need – they may need help
  • Food Pantries – many families will struggle during this time – if you can, consider donating and/or volunteering
  • Organize online study groups for your classmates
  • Organize online social groups with your classmates
  • Babysitting – consider offering your services to care for children of essential workers (nurses, doctors, first responders, grocery store clerks, pharmacy workers, postal employees) and single parents who need to work, even if from home)
  • Volunteer Match: Check local or online opportunities to meet a need: https://www.volunteermatch.org/covid19
