Over
these last two months, we have come together as a community, supporting and
caring for one another during this difficult and uncertain time. But there are
still those in our community who need our help.
If
you’re self-isolating or in a high-risk group, donating funds, medical supplies
or care packages is a great way to support our community. If you are otherwise
healthy, in a low-risk group, and engaging in social distancing, you may also
want to consider volunteering as your help is desperately needed. Find below, a
