Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Like everywhere my area has many unemployed and my state is very slow to send unemployment checks. There are also many small businesses struggling to stay afloat and most have not received any Payroll Protection Act money (seems that most of that money went to big businesses).
I would like to help these people and I am looking for suggestions of ways to do it. I am not a very wealthy person but I am fortunate to have some extra money I can use to help folks (including my stimulus money if it ever comes). So far I have donated to local food banks and a group helping feed students. I have also donated to a fund to help buy masks, etc for medical personnel. I am buying some meals from local restaurants and giving larger than normal tips. I have also helped set up go fund me accounts for local nonprofits. I have continued to pay my housekeeper even though I have asked her not to come.
But I somehow feel this is not enough. Any suggestions? What are others on this Forum doing to help the unemployed and small businesses?
