@OP - that’s great! It’s great you’re asking this. I’m here for the suggestions too.

Some of the things I’ve been doing:

I have a monthly maid at $100/per that won’t be coming over during the shutdown. I’ll continue to pay her the cleaning fee.

I have friends who were recently laid off. I’ve purchased packets of $25 gift cards to grocery stores to help tide them over until the stimulus kicks in.

Looking forward to learning of other ways to help others :)

I have a lot of friends in the restaurant industry. A lot of the small independent places are either collaboratively or on their own trying to raise funds to supports workers and their families. They can make money with to go but it’s a fraction of the volume. Realistically it seems like a major chunk of the restaurant industry won’t be around after this. Like greater than 50%. If there’s a neighborhood bar or restaurant you love, I guarantee they’re hurting and contributing towards them is a great bit of neighborhood solidarity. I’m doing it for my favorite place back home called Nancy’s . Considering doing that with my Trumpbucks©
