Let’s join together

This is an interesting time. With museums, restaurants and other establishments being forced to close or modify their operations by statute or federal order, it provides a time for us to help one another out.

For those of us whose livelihood and income are not as drastically affected, it’s our time to pitch in.
Consider donating food to your local food banks, churches, or clearinghouses to help families with kids who are not getting a subsidized meal at school. And for those parents who may now either be laid off – or be paying for daycare.
Look for items of which the grocery has an abundance, make a purchase and donate it.
Restaurants in our state are now disallowed from having dine-in service. A number of these in our town have not previously offered carry-out service. The owners and all the wait-staff are going to have a tough time paying rent/ mortgage this month. If you are in a position to do so, please make a point to order carry-out from such a restaurant and help their cash flow. Repeat when possible until the in-house dining ban is lifted.
That’s a start. Who else do we need to be thoughtful of?
We do our part to help our community. That’s how we roll.
