| Recently, when each of our local agencies was asked if their need was currently in emergency status, all indicated that they were making it but that donations are still welcomed because of the increased need of their guests. If you are a person who really does not have a need for your stimulus check but has received it anyway, follow your heart’s lead in determining where you would like to donate your money. Here is A Guide to Helping and Getting Help During the Coronavirus Crisis. It lists ways to give, how to get help, and how to help in other ways in your community. | Food: Soup Kitchen Food Pantry Homeless shelter: ICRH Health Products: Care Store Clothing: Clothing, INC Domestic Violence: R.I.S.E. |
