Key Takeaways
The coronavirus pandemic is leaving millions of people sick, unemployed, and struggling to make ends meet.
Thankfully, there are many things you can do to help make a difference in your community from the safety of your home.
From volunteering to supporting local establishments, there are a variety of opportunities to help those in need during this difficult time.
If you’re strapped for cash, there are ways to donate without spending money. Here are some goods that are in need.
Food. With more people out of work, demand for food banks is expected to rise. At the same time, panic-buying and hoarding have reduced supplies. Supporting your local food pantry will help close the gap. While the best way to support food banks is through financial assistance so they can purchase what they need, you can also help by donating non-perishables like peanut butter, canned goods, pasta, rice, and beans.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Hospitals and healthcare centers are still facing shortages of PPE such as N95 masks and surgical masks. If you have some to spare, you can donate through organizations such as GetUsPPE and DonatePPE.
Hard-to-find supplies. Right now, it’s difficult to find things like toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, bleach, rubbing alcohol, and disinfecting wipes. If you have more than you need, see if a local food bank, essential business, or anyone in your neighborhood or social group could use them.
Computers. Since schools, offices, and libraries are closed, many of us have to rely on Internet access from home. But not everyone has a personal computer. In the United States, corporate and government organizations are being called on to donate laptops and tablets. Encourage your company to take part.
Clothing. Although most consignment shops have closed their physical locations, some are still accepting donations by mail. Research the ones in your area to see what their practices are. Spending more time at home might give you a good opportunity to clean out your closet or take on other de-cluttering projects. And as restrictions start to ease up, there may be more demand for clothes to wear on job interviews.
Give blood
Fewer people are donating blood at this time, which means the Red Cross is facing dire shortages. And as coronavirus cases continue to increase, the number of eligible donors has dropped. While many of us have been warned against “nonessential” errands, the Red Cross and other blood banks have remained open with safety precautions in place.
Use your skills
Get creative with ways you can help out. Chances are you have a talent that can be of service right now. Here are some skills that are in demand.
Sewing. As hospitals are facing a shortage of personal protective equipment, some are asking for homemade masks. This is a great way to help out on the front lines. Many American hospitals are accepting contributions.
Web design. As many small brick-and-mortar shops have had to switch to an e-commerce model, business owners need people who can create an appealing website, write copy, and photograph products.
Legal aid. Many small businesses also need legal help to access funds from the federal stimulus package. If you’re a lawyer, you can volunteer to help.
Financial services. With many bank branches closed, notary services are also in demand. And if you’re a certified financial planner, you can lend your skills to help those who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
Virtual Fitness. Maybe you’re a skilled tap, ballet, or hip-hop dancer. Offering virtual classes are a great way to lift people’s spirits and get them moving. Yoga and guided meditations can help them relax as well.
Express gratitude
Healthcare workers are being tested physically and emotionally. Services such as Health Hero Hotline allow you to leave messages of appreciation and support. Call 877-226-HERO (4376). In many communities around the world, people are also gathering at their windows, decks, or front doors at certain times of day to collectively cheer on healthcare workers starting or ending their shifts.
