•Help support families whose kids normally get lunch at school while schools are closed here through Blessings in a Backpack. www.blessingsinabackpack.org/covid-19-response-effort/
•Help local small businesses like restaurants, salons, and other shops by buying gift cards online to use later!
•Reach out to neighbors, friends, and family to see if anyone needs anything. Offer to buy groceries for your elderly neighbors or family members.
•If you have friends who still need to go to work, but they have kids who are out of school, offer to help take care of them one day while schools are closed!
•Donate or volunteer at your local Meals on Wheels. They serve meals to the elderly, which is a vulnerable and at-risk population. www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/
•Helping others can bring a lot of peace and joy to our hearts in an unsettling time! But we also wanted to include a list of ideas and activities you can do while you're home...
𝒲𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝒿𝑜𝓎 𝑜𝓇 𝒷𝑒 𝓅𝓇𝑜𝒹𝓊𝒸𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝒶𝓉 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒...
•Find a new recipe online... bake something and bring it to a friend or neighbor!
•Go on a bike ride or a run! Exercise helps build your immune system!
•Read a good book! It's the perfect time to download a novel or order one on Amazon!
•Take an online course and learn something new to better yourself or your business. What's something you've been wanting to learn?
•Pick up a new hobby... knitting, chess, sewing, painting, yoga, calligraphy... what's something you don't normally have time to do?
•Play in the backyard... kick a ball around or have an at home picnic!
•Facetime with a friend who might be feeling lonely. Set the phone up while you each drink a cup of coffee to pretend you're on a coffee date!
•Order seeds to plant an herb garden.
•Organize your pantry or closet... Get your kids to help you sort things by color!
•Have a dance party (even if it’s a party of one!)... dancing helps relieve stress and anxiety.
We hope that this brought your heart some joy and reminded you we are all in this together...
Find those sweet moments every day, even when you’re just at home, and capture them!
One day we hope we'll look back on this season with gratitude that we made it through. And for the ways it made us slow down and sacrifice for others and for the time we got to spend with our families in our homes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
