While this pandemic affects people in different ways, we can admit that the brunt of the situation is felt more by certain people- from essential workers to small business to the less-privileged.
Here are some ways you can be of help during this trying period.
Stay at Home
As we already know, staying home will help to flatten the curve and reduce the risk of getting infected and infecting others in turn. This ‘simple’ act could go a long way in helping others. So unless you’re an essential worker or you need to do some emergency errands, please STAY HOME.
Make Monetary Donations
There are several organizations and food banks aimed at helping to provide groceries, relief materials and palliatives during this pandemic. You can help these organizations reach more people and offer more palliatives by making donations and encouraging others to do so, as well.

Provide Supplies for Those In Need
If you know anyone who might be struggling financially during this period, you can send them some essential supplies (groceries, foodstuff and more), as well as money. You’ll be helping them a great deal.
Support Businesses
Some businesses are currently facing the harsh effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, with people locked in and forgoing several services during this period. Companies such as restaurants, bookstores, tech suppliers and shopping malls are offering delivery services to help cushion the effects of the crisis on their business while ensuring that they help to provide assistance where they are needed. You can help these businesses by taking advantage of their delivery services and helping to spread the word to others so that they can patronize them as well.
Check Up on Others
These are tough times for several people, so it’s essential to reach out to friends, family and neighbours, especially people dealing with any form of loss. You can check up on them via text, phone calls and video calls as often as possible.
Run Errands for Others
If you’re heading to the grocery store or market to stock up on supplies and essential items, you can help neighbours (especially the elderly and vulnerable) to get some supplies as well. You’ll be taking a huge burden off their shoulders.
