Ways to impact positively on your community during outbreak of the Coronavirus

As the world tackles the outbreak of the Coronavirus, it’s crucial to follow all the instructions recommended by the government and take all the necessary precautions. While it is also necessary to reach out and support those in our communities most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
DLF brings  some of the ways for those who are able to make a positive impact amid these hard times:



Donate to a Food Bank
Due to the lockdown, many schools and businesses are forced to shut, which has created a paucity for daily resources like food. One of the most significant impacts has been daily wage earners who bank upon daily wages for their needs. You can help by reaching out to your local food bank or items of need can help feed those struggling in your community.

Check in on Friends, Neighbors, and Family
While the country is practicing social distancing or sheltering, you can use this time to connect with your loved ones and neighbors on the phone or through video call. Especially those who struggle with anxiety and depression may feel lost or hopeless and may need your assistance. Social distancing might overwhelm some, you can ask what they need. While assisting others you must always take all the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family.

Support Small Businesses
Since all states and provinces are under curfews and lockdowns, small businesses like local restaurants and retailers are some of the most affected entities. Think of the impact these establishments are suffering and what it would be like to not have them. Donating funds, purchasing gift cards to be used at a later date or ordering a delivered meal for a loved one or neighbour can be helpful to your favourite local spots.

Local Helplines
If you are not sure where else to turn and help, you can contact your local helpline numbers and if they need any assistance. There are many NGOs and social workers who are working round the clock to help those in need. With PM Funds dedicated to this current crisis, your donation can help healthcare workers and those who are in a vulnerable state due to their health.
One of the important things is to continue practicing safe social distancing. From our communities to the larger global society, we are all in this together, and we hope to safe and stay healthy during this challenging time.
