Simple Ways You Can Help Others During The Quarantine

In a time that there is so much pain in the world, I want to step up and help. But what can one person do to help others during the quarantine? More than you think. Even the smallest gestures can make the world a better place.

A simple message to a friend or family member provides encouragement. The smallest act of kindness shows someone you care. Even if you help just one person, you are making a difference. So, if you are looking for ways to help others during this difficult time, I have created a list of ideas for you to reference.

• Purchase, Donate or Cut the fabric to be used for masks if sewing isn’t your thing.
