Opportunities to volunteer
Staying home is the best remedy for this disaster, but for those of us who feel compelled to offer our time and talent to helping those in need, here are some suggestions for ways to contribute to the COVID-19 disaster response.
Become a COVID-19 Emergency Response Volunteer (CERV)
https://sf.gov/be-emergency-volunteer
The COVID-19 Emergency Response Volunteer (CERV) program was created in a partnership between the City and County of San Francisco and the Shanti Project. CERV volunteers provide one-time or occasional support to older and vulnerable adults, who have been strongly advised to not leave their home during the coronavirus pandemic.
Give a helping hand to the Food Bank
https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/volunteer/
The SF Marin Food Bank is expanding their community outreach in attempt to keep up with the unprecedented demand for their services. SFMFB is looking for volunteers for pop-up pantries, warehouse, delivery and translation services. Your health and safety is their top priority, so if you have the time and ability, they have multiple ways for you to help out our neighbors in need.
Make a mask (or several)
The N95 mask is in short supply! Until production catches up with the monumental need in the healthcare industry, anyone with a needle and thread (or a sewing machine) can help the cause and make a mask.
https://www.joann.com/make-to-give-response/
Free materials and instructions are provided by Joann Fabrics with a goal of making 100,000,000 masks for donation
