WHOSE HELP IS REQUIRED
AdultHOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
It is not always easy to support those who are suffering. It takes a lot of emotional energy to care for the sick, the homeless, those out of work, and people in need of basic necessities. By reminding those who do this important work every day that they are remembered and appreciated, you can help make this challenging time a little easier for those on the frontlines in our communities.
DESCRIPTION
Along with healthcare workers, many nonprofits and their staffs are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic caring for clients and vulnerable populations. You can say thank you by sending lunch, cookies, or a care package to let them know they are cared for and appreciated!
ITEMS NEEDED
