If you are unaware of the country's current financial state, just know that now more than ever we need to help our neighbors. With businesses closing many families across America are left with little resources, so if you are willing and able, here are some ways to give back.
Start small and simple by helping support local businesses! Purchase take out, or buy gift cards!
Another way to help is look for mutual aid programs in your area! Aid programs are everywhere so one shouldn't be hard to find that you are willing to support.
Large scale donation programs include
Feed America: https://www.feedingamerica.org/
World Health Organizations Covid-19 response fund: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/donate
Small scale donations can be made to local businesses like the group of Boston coffee shop employees all lost their jobs because of the virus. https://ktchnwnch.square.site/
On the website you can purchase the employee's art and they divide the earnings among all the staff.
