Other Ways to Get Involved

• Consider sending letters, cards, emails or drawings to senior citizens at retirement homes or centers. It is not recommended to visit at this time, but it is a nice gesture to send them notes.
• Do you have a neighbor or family member who lives alone? Take some time to call or video chat with them. 
• Consider sending cards of thanks to healthcare workers who are working around the clock to keep our communities healthy and safe.
• Send messages of care and hope to your community through sidewalk chalk/art. 
• Take some time to get creative to best help your community, but always make health and safety your first priorities. 
• Take Action: Face Masks for Local Health Care Professionals.
