When people ask “What can we do to help?” tell them that, “Daily that can change.”
Today we are checking to see: Do you have good magazines you can donate? When we drop off something we can add a magazine to the delivery. If you have some in good shape, we will send a volunteer to pick them up from your porch! Place them in a grocery bag, preferably plastic, and put it on your porch for an arranged pick up time. No contact is necessary with the volunteers. Call us at 734.662.3128 and leave a message to arrange your pick up.
We are grateful for donations large and small! We have families that need the food supplemented that we give them. We try to drop off something fun, a inexpensive gift to the children as well! We are giving coloring books, and scholastic books, we even took a deck of cards and a couple board games!!
People that cannot buy their own food probably also need help to have entertainment. We came across a family that once had internet but could not pay the bill for basic. What do you do? This is when you get to decide, is basic cable a necessity during a time like this? It might very well be more needed than oatmeal or eggs if you have 3 children with no where to go!
Speaking of kids and internet, check out this collection of free coding apps and special classes for kids at https://codewizardshq.com/coding-for-kids-free/
Check on your neighbors! If you think we should check on someone please call 734.662.3128 and leave us a message and we will!
We promise that very early each morning we start with message checking then we prioritize the workload. We have Teachers, Social Workers and others who have been asked to stay home joining us to safely make each day better for someone.
Mental health is important! Don’t just watch the news!! Clean a closet. Go for a walk. Write a letter to a friend! Read a good book. Meet your neighbor (staying 6 ft. apart.) Do you have an instrument in your home? Learn a new song on it!
We will get through this together as a caring Community!
WASH YOUR HANDS!
