5 CIVIC HEALTH IDEAS
FOR TODAY'S TIMES
WAYS TO ENGAGE YOUR COMMUNITY
IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING
DONATE CLOTHING AND
OTHER ITEMS
Some Goodwill locations are still accepting
your donations and are warehousing them,
where the company plans to sanitize and store
them until the stay-at-home order ends.
Others, have asked donors to hold on to your
items for now but can accept donations later.
Either way be ready for them when they are
ready for you.
SUPPORT LOCAL
BUSINESS
Many of them are struggling. Many have
furloughed employees and want to bring them
back. Many have significant financial
challenges. Let them know you will be there
for them when they can get back to business.
SEEK OUT THOSE IN NEED
Dedicate a portion of your week – whether it is
a ½ hour or a day, to seek those who may be in
need of something in your neighborhood, or
workplace, and see if you can help. Create an
email or phone call tree to check on the elderly
or health-impaired.
